Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has reacted to Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silvas spot-kick during both teams UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg tie on Wednesday.
Lunin was Real Madrids penalty shootout hero as they beat Manchester City 4-3 after the match ended in a 1-1 draw at Etihad Stadium.
The Ukraine international made two saves in the shootout as Madrid qualified for the semi-final where they will face Bayern Munich.
During the shootout, Silvas penalty was struck tamely straight down the middle of the goal but Lunin said that a decision taken before the shootout with Real Madrids coaches enabled him to make what turned out to be an easy save.
I needed to take a risk with one of the kicks, we picked one (to stay in the middle) and thank goodness it worked out in our favour, Lunin told Movistar Plus+.
Its an away Champions League game and we went through a lot of suffering but Im very grateful to the team for everything theyve fought for. I cant imagine myself running like my teammates did today.
