The Match sport reports that Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, has made the decision for the player to miss the team’s forthcoming Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund. Lunin was infected with a virus earlier this week, which led to this conclusion. Lunin has played a crucial role throughout the competition, stepping up magnificently in Thibaut Courtois’s absence. His heroics were especially noteworthy in the quarterfinal victory over Manchester City via penalty shootout.
On Thursday, the remaining members of Ancelotti’s team are expected to travel to London. Lunin is anticipated to return to the club anytime on Friday or Saturday, according to Marca. By arriving later than expected, Lunin’s chance of infecting his teammates with the illness is reduced, and the team’s well-being is prioritized before the important game.
Real Madrid is still intent on winning a record-tying 15th Champions League championship, despite this setback. Throughout the season, Ancelotti’s team has proven to be resilient; this test is just one more obstacle in their quest for European success. As they get ready for one of the most important games of the year, the team is determined to overcome this misfortune by relying on their depth and expertise. As the squad looks to add yet another prestigious championship to their historic history, Ancelotti’s calculated move highlights their dedication to both health and performance.
