If we consider the status of a strong backup for one of today's best goalkeepers, then the first part of the club season for Ukraine's national team goalkeeper Andriy Lunin at Real Madrid has been quite decent.

Due to injury to Belgian Thibaut Courtois, our boy managed not only a guaranteed match in the Spanish Cup but also played four games in La Liga and two matches in the Champions League group stage. In both tournaments, Lunin conceded two goals each (in the cup game he played to a zero score), while in the Spanish league he kept his clean sheets in two other matches.

It's worth noting that one of the La Liga games Andriy played against a tough opponent, Barcelona, and in this confrontation it was precisely Lunin’s team that emerged victorious (3:1).

As for the club prospects of Ukraine's national team goalkeeper in the second half of the season, if we exclude cup matches, his playing time will depend entirely on Courtois' readiness to take the field.
