Shortly before the CL final
Ancelotti surprises with starting eleven decision
The Real Madrid starting eleven for the CL final against Dortmund has now been announced. Coach Carlo Ancelotti will start Thibaut Courtois on Saturday evening. And this despite the fact that Andrij Lunin has played all the games in the premier class so far.
"Yes, he will be our goalkeeper," Ancelotti revealed at the press conference ahead of the final at Wembley.
Andrij Lunin, who replaced the injured Courtois for a long time, is only on the bench today due to flu.
Courtois celebrated his comeback at the beginning of May after a nine-month injury break (cruciate ligament rupture) and has not conceded a goal in his four league games since then.
This will be the 32-year-old Belgian's third CL final against BVB. In 2014, he lost with Atletico against Real, in 2022 he won 1-0 with the "royals" against Liverpool FC - and today?
One thing is certain: ÖFB star David Alaba will be watching the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund from the substitutes' bench.
