We all love Lunin. There's not a single Madridista who doesn't but we must not be emotional when it comes to a UCL final… Courtois is simply better. Even right now.
I know I'm going to get downvoted or whatever that is called but I don't care because what I said is facts and will happen.
I don’t wanna hear it. Courtois MUST start the final.

Whoever don Carlo says should start
You guys praised Lunin when he saved our a$$ against City and now Courtois should start smh Lunin shall finish what he have started
I don’t care. Lunin should play the finals
Anyone who doesn’t want Camavinga in goal doesn’t know ball
Lunin should start, people are forgetting todays game was against a team that was barely trying to win.so proves nothing. Lunin should finish after helping get us here
Im riding or dying with Lunin in the final. He’s earned it 🇺🇦
I agree with you. If Courtois is fully fit and performing well in Laliga, he should start. You have to start your best available players and at their best, Courtois is safer than Lunin. I’m sure Lunin will get his due credit from the fans and the team even if he doesn’t start.
Whoever Carlo says goes.
I disagree, Lunin brought us there, I would start him
if lunin doesnt play any of the la liga games, he is def not starting ucl final at all.
No. Just no. Lunin earned the right to play that final, he deserves it. Even if we lose it (which I don’t hope of course) because of an error of Lunin, I won’t be mad at him. He has been big especially in UCL, and Courtois did not play a single minute in UCL this season. If Courtois plays the final, it’s pure unfair.
That was a world class save – one which I think Lunin might not have been able to because Courtois has higher aerial reach and reflexes.
I think today was a big test for Courtois and he passed with flying colors. Had Courtois still looked off his game today, Carlo probably would have gone back to Lunin for the next few games and the final. But after this game, I think Courtois will play the remaining LaLiga games and the final.
It’s Borussia Dortmund, their best players are Fullkrug, Sancho and Adeyeme, relax man, Lunin will be good
Lunin got us there saved us against Leipzig,City and Bayern.
Tough decision for Carlo
3 clean sheets in 3 games, amazing 👏
OP is way too excited about Courtois performance in what is equivalent to a friendly. It’s been 3 games and not even critical games.
Nah Lunin will carry harder
I think it might be unfair for courtois to play in the final after being absent the whole year. If he screws it up, he would be blamed for it tho he just came from an injury that lasted the whole season.
Least reactional Madrid fan.
Couple good performances in meaningless matches with no pressure doesn’t mean anything.
Courtois is not UCL ready it would be insanity to start him with 0 UCL or any important matches under his belt this season. Tibo would be the first one to tell you that.
I’m glad he’s looked good so far but let’s not get carried away here lmao.
I’m a huge fan of Courtois but personally, I would’ve still picked Lunin for the final. However, I think at the end of the day, Courtois is also the type of person I feel who would be able to say if he feels he is actually ready and that confident.
Performance we see in these unimportant matches isn’t enough justification, there’s a whole mindset thing as well and Carlos I believe will make the right call with all the information he’s have at his disposal.
I wish Ancelotti place Lunin on this final
I think it should be lunin, don’t get me wrong courtois is clearly better but he can’t perform the same as he was injured and missed a lot of games. Lunin has been playing for a while and that synergy will remain on the pitch if lunin plays. Remember when Kane came back from an injury and Lucas Moura was benched. Yeah that didn’t go so well for them
Courtois: capable of starting a UCL final in 2024
Lunin: capable AND deserving of starting a UCL in 2024
Lunin must start.
Listen I’m all for Lunin getting his accolades and shit but at the end of the day he is the fit keeper. Yes, Courtois has been solid since he came back, and no doubt he would do good in the final (because he’s fucking Courtois), I just feel like Lunin is the safer decision. Ultimately, they would both do well, which is why I agree with what most people said, whatever Don Carlo says goes.
There is no wrong choice in terms of quality. Lunin has been very good this season and deserves the chance to play the final. Courtois is the best goalkeeper in the world when fit so it makes the choice hard. Personally I think Lunin should start the final
Okay, here is my point, if it wasn’t for lunin, we would not have made it to final. So if we lose final with lunin as keeper, so be it. It’s his final. But i respect Carlo and his decision he is the coach.
The disrespect to Lunin lol
