News about Andriy Lunin

Barcelona will take legal action against the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) after the controversial decision around Lamine Yamal's unawarded goal in Sunday's El Clasico clash. Barca president Joan Laporta (pictured) has already suggested the Blaugrana could pursue a replay for the tie. Real Madrid came out on top in the match at the Bernabeu after Jude Bellingham's injury time winner sent Los Blancos 11 points clear at the top of the Spanish top-flight to all but confirm the league title. 

Yamal thought he had put Barca 2-1 ahead when he seemingly flicked the ball in after a corner, but Andriy Lunin palmed the ball away and the referee waved play on. VAR couldn't confirm if it had crossed the line with only two angles available and LaLiga president Javier Tebas has since sought to defend the division's lack of goal-line technology. With Real Madrid going on to win 3-2 thanks to a late Jude Bellingham goal , the controversy has become a flashpoint.

A new angle of Lamine Yamal's 'phantom goal' for Barcelona against Real Madrid has emerged. LaLiga came under fire during Sunday's El Clasico showdown at the Bernabeu after the 16-year-old thought he had given the Catalans the lead with a flick from a corner. Yamal's effort looked to have beaten goalkeeper Andriy Lunin before the Ukrainian managed to palm the ball away from the goal.

LaLiga came under fire for during Sunday's El Clasico showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid for having no goal-line technology and president Javier Tebas has hit back.  The clash at the Bernabeu was level at 1-1 when Lamine Yamal thought he had given the Catalans the lead with a flick from a corner. His effort looked to have beat goalkeeper Andriy Lunin before he managed to palm it away from the goal.

The momentum is on Real Madrid's side as they go into this weekend's El Clasico against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.  Barcelona are eight points behind their rivals in the table and are out of Europe after they were thrashed 4-1 on home soil by Paris Saint-Germain, with the French side progressing to the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 6-4 aggregate win. A day later Real Madrid advanced to the last four after their tie with Manchester City went to penalties after a 4-4 aggregate score, with Andriy Lunin saving spot-kicks from Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic. 

JACK GAUGHAN: There have been more iconic moments in Bernardo Silva's time at Manchester City. The open-mouthed euphoria of scoring twice against Real Madrid last year tops the lot. For City supporters, how he clung onto a polystyrene cup of coffee during a guard of honour for Liverpool in an act of disrespect comes close. More iconic but then none more redemptive than Wembley. When he does eventually leave, those standing behind that goal will remember their beating heart thumping the badge on squeezing City through to another FA Cup final. Silva is one of those rarities: simultaneously both a sensational footballer and cult hero. He barely slept a wink on Wednesday night, Silva. And not just because of baby Carlota. Visions of Andriy Lunin gratefully catching his flat penalty, over and over, the defining image of City's shootout defeat by Real almost a year on from Silva's crowning night in blue. 'Thursday night I slept a bit better,' he said. The pain doesn't subside that quickly, although Saturday undoubtedly helped.

Sergio Aguero's intense reaction to Manchester City's penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid left fans in stitches with the Argentine put through the wringer while watching his old side in the Champions League. The champions of Europe were dethroned at the Etihad as Real Madrid battled to a 1-1 draw before winning via spot-kicks - after Rodrygo's opener was cancelled out by Kevin De Bruyne in regular time. But with the aggregate score level at 4-4 and no winner coming in extra time, the game went to penalties, which Madrid won after Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic both saw their efforts saved by Andriy Lunin - despite Luka Modric missing his kick early on.

The Ukraine goalkeeper was one of the stars for the Spanish side in their second leg victory over City in the intense showdown at the Eithad, making 10 saves in the game as his side faced several periods of defending against the champions. While he could do little to prevent Kevin De Bruyne netting the equaliser, he was on hand to claw away a number of other opportunities and help take the game to penalties, before saving two spot kicks to take his side to the last four of the competition.

Antonio Rudiger appeared to tell Andriy Lunin which way Mateo Kovacic would send his penalty before the goalkeeper made a vital save to help Real Madrid beat Manchester City on Wednesday night. Footage shows Rudiger frantically pointing to his left - the goalkeeper's right - in the moments before his former Chelsea teammate took his spot kick. Lunin obliged, diving low to his right to keep out Kovacic's effort. That proved to be the difference as the 14-time European champions reached the semifinals after Wednesday's second leg ended 1-1 over 120 minutes.

In a match dubbed the champions against the kings, nothing could separate the two sides across two games and it ended up with a penalty shootout, with Pep Guardiola's side coming up short. City had an early advantage in the shootout when former Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric saw his spot kick saved by Ederson, but Silva missed straight after and Kovacic also had his effort stopped. Silva's miss came in bizarre fashion, with the Portugal star shooting straight down the middle and Madrid stopper Andriy Lunin standing still, easily blocking the effort to square the tie up once again.

Bernardo Silva gave Manchester City the perfect start at Real Madrid within one minute and 49 seconds after a moment of genius from the Portuguese star. Silva stepped up to take an early free-kick about 25 yards from the goal, and he curled a low shot around the wall and into the bottom corner, with Andriy Lunin unable to keep it out despite getting a hand to it. The current holders of the Champions League trophy are visiting the most successful club in the tournament's history for a quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid fans have chastised Carlo Ancelotti for denying Andryi Lunin of a coveted individual award. The Ukrainian, who joined the 13-time European champions from Zorya Luhansk for £7.3 million in 2020, has had an excellent season with Los Blancos, earning nine clean sheets in 18 appearances so far. Lunin's results, with Madrid on track to regain the title he lost to Barcelona last season, would normally make him a lock-in for the Zamora Trophy.

Real Madrid has just one more La Liga game before they face City and Vinicius because of the international break and a weekend without league matches due to the Spanish Cup final. He had already done enough to help Real Madrid win before his 31st yellow in three seasons.

Chelsea's net income by selling ten players with the Blues could reach a dramatic peak this summer as they continue to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Guidelines (PSR). In the first full year under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's ownership, the club reported a tax loss of £90.1 million last week. Chelsea FC Holdings Limited's accounts showed the loss for the 12-month cycle until June 30, 2023.

Fans were left confused after RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko had a goal distuously dismissed out against Real Madrid in the Champions League after being left confused. Sesko scored a header, but the goal wasn't allowed to stand due to a small touch of aggression from the forward against goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. Sesko, who was standing behind Lunin, was initially thought to have been offside, but the 20-year-old was later fined for catching the goalkeeper.

REAL MADRID 4-2 REAL MADRID PETER JENSON OF ATLETICO MADRID PETER JENSON OF CIVITAS METROPOLITAN STADIUM. Antoine Griezmann scored a spectacular 100th minute winner to end a raucous, anarchic six-goal Madrid-derby cup last-16 game that began on Thursday night and concluded just before Friday morning. It rained goals; it rained yellow cards; and the man who was honoured before the game for having already been Atletico's all-time top scorer made the most decisive contribution. Griezmann had a quiet night, but as the ball was released he was running out of gas, he accelerated down the right away from Vinicius, who was trying to make amends after losing the ball, and rifled the ball into the roof of Andriy Lunin's net.

Andriy Lunin's wife has taken a shot at Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Spaniard's poor display against rivals Atletico. Despite being defeated 5-3 in the Spanish Super Cup final, Kepa had a night to remember. Even though he could do little to prevent either of Atletico Madrid's first-half goals, he gave them the lead in the 78th minute when he punched the ball off teammate Antonio Rudiger into the back of the net in the 78th minute.

Los Blancos is short-stocked in the goalkeeping department due to the injury to Courtois, with 24-year-old back-up Andriy Lunin as the only other option, so Kepa is likely to join the team straight away.

PETE JENSON: The loss ended their chances of catching Barcelona, but there was bad news beyond the result, with Thibaut Courtois leaving early in the game after injuring his abductor muscle. Militao and Karim Benzema were already out of Eder Militao and Karim Benzema, and Militao's replacement Nacho scored an own-goal past stand-in goalkeeper Andriy Lunin for the game's only goal. Madrid won a second half spot kick, but with no Benzema on the field, Marco Asensio came forward to take the kick but had his shot saved.

Shakhtar Donetsk led the way right after the break after a first half that was dominated by the visitors, thanks to Oleksandr Zubkov's 46th minute finish. And Lassina Traore had a golden opportunity to double the ascendancy in the 64th minute after Andriy Lunin seemed to have made a howler after blocking the forward from rounding him, but the striker could only find the woodwork. Despite being a full strength Real side, including Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, and Vinicius Jnr., the holders were unable to crack openly by the Ukrainian giants despite a resolute defensive effort.
