In the match against Leipzig, the Ukrainian kept a clean sheet against Madrid.
Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin made nine saves in the important match between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.
According to OptaJose, the 25-year-old Ukrainian became the only other Madrid goalkeeper hired in the 2003/04 season, who managed to make 9+ saves in one match of the tournament without conceding.
Previously, in the 2021/22 Champions League final against Liverpool, when Real Madrid won a 1:0 draw, Belgium's Thibaut Courtois made nine saves in his draw.
It is significant that Lunin, in the match against the German club, also set a special record for the number of saves in one match for a Vershkovyh football player.. In the seventh match of the 2nd round of La Liga 2023/24 against Almeria (3:1), the Ukrainian made 7 saves.
Guess what, Andriy's miracle game helped Real Madrid gain a minimal victory over RB Leipzig. The most popular statistical portals recognized him as the best player in the match.
