Carlo Ancelotti addresses Real Madrid goalkeeper debate, hints at starter for Champions League final | OneFootball

Thibaut Courtois or Andriy Lunin. That’s the debate facing Carlo Ancelotti for Real Madrid’s Champions League final clash against Borussia Dortmund. Both goalkeepers have staked a strong claim to start at Wembley Stadium, and that’s especially the case for the former in recent weeks.

As per Diario AS, Carlo Ancelotti was asked about the matter during his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s trip to Villarreal. He provided a firm response, and also confirmed that it would be Lunin between the sticks at the Ceramica.

“The debate for me doesn’t exist. Lunin has had a fantastic season and Courtois is getting back to what he was before, the best in the world.

“Lunin is going to play tomorrow.”

Ancelotti also confirmed that Eder Militao has a very good chance of starting for Real Madrid against Dortmund, having taken significant steps over the last few weeks in his bid to return to full fitness.

“He could start in the final, he’s close to 100%. He was missing minutes and he’s taking them. He’ll play tomorrow and I see him very close to his best. It’s an option we have.”
