Carlo Ancelotti's decision was made easier before the Champions League final due to the development of the formation

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has said he will save the decision on which goalkeeper will start in the Champions League final as he “enjoyed the debate” whether it would be Andriy Lunin or Thibaut Courtois. However, circumstances conspired to make his decision easier for him.

All the reports coming out of the Spanish capital is that Courtois will be given the lead The moon, having looked in scintillating form since his return from injury. The Belgian goalkeeper is “the best in the world”, although “Lunin has had a fantastic season” in the words of Carlo Ancelotti. Chain Cope say that Lunin has improved from his fever since Tuesday, but he missed training for a second day in a row.

While Ancelotti has assured that he will be fit for the final against Borussia Dortmund, and that he will probably be back, but if he needed help to make that call, then it seems that the stars have aligned for Courtois. It is certainly far from ideal preparation if Lunin is to start his first final on Saturday.
