In a remarkable season for Real Madrid, goalkeepers Andriy Lunin and Thibaut Courtois have been central figures in helping the club clinch the La Liga title with the best attack and the most formidable defense in the league.
Their collective efforts have resulted in a new club record for clean sheets, a testament to their dominance throughout the season.
Real Madrid has conceded only 22 goals this season, the lowest in the Spanish top flight, with a significant contribution from its goalkeepers. Lunin and Courtois together have secured seventeen clean sheets, setting a new benchmark for future squads. With three games left in the season, there's a chance to further improve this impressive record.
The situation looked worrying for Real fans earlier in the season when Courtois suffered an injury and was sidelined for an extended period. However, Ukrainian goalkeeper Lunin stepped up magnificently, proving to be a reliable backup. Additionally, Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who joined on loan following Courtois's injury, managed to keep a clean sheet in two appearances but was primarily sidelined by Lunin's outstanding performances.
This record-setting achievement has not only bolstered Real Madrid's defense but also solidified Lunin's standing within the team, highlighting the depth and resilience of the squad's goalkeeping lineup.
