Andrei Lunin’s hard work paid off, and at the age of 25 he became Real Madrid’s first goalkeeper. His rise proves that one should never give up, and after lifting his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, he wants to repeat the performance tonight (10:00 p.m.) against Bayern Munich

The display of Real Madrid’s goalkeeper, Andrey Lunin, in the quarter-finals against Manchester City included 120 minutes of saves, resistance to bursts, tremendous ability and above all: stopping two penalties in a duel from the penalty spot. Lunin was the one who lifted Real with his own hands, literally, to the semi-finals of the Champions League. “I’m exhausted. It’s something that didn’t happen to me, but now I’m the happiest person in the world. I worked hard for this,” he said at the end, “I’m not the hero or the main character here. The team is full of heroes, everyone did a great job and fought for 120 minutes.” The victory in penalties also released a little humor from the Ukrainian goalkeeper: “In the end, I have the easiest job. I didn’t even run for five minutes, I can’t imagine myself running for 120 minutes like my friends.”
