Real Madrid's head coach Xabi Alonso assessed the performance of the team's Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin following the 4-3 victory over Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League Matchday 5 group stage away game of the 2025-2026 season.
Recall that this match was the 26-year-old goalkeeper's first appearance of the current season.
He has a great personality and is always prepared. He’s proven that throughout his career, and we have a lot of confidence in him. He plays the role of always being ready when needed very well. It’s a shame he conceded three goals, but he conveyed a lot of calm and confidence. We’re counting on him when needed, and he’ll play.
The Ukrainian has been playing for Real Madrid since July 2018, with periods spent on loan. During this time, the goalkeeper has played 63 matches across all competitions, in which he conceded 73 goals and kept 22 clean sheets. Andriy Lunin's agreement with the Madrid club runs until the summer of 2030. The Transfermarkt website estimates the goalkeeper's market value at €18 million.
It was previously reported that Andriy Lunin may continue his career with English club Tottenham Hotspur.
