According to the source, after the final, Lunin tried to avoid the Belgian goalkeeper, but agreed to take a group photo with the three "merengues" goalkeepers and their coach Luis Llopis.
The Relevo report also highlights that Lunin was upset by Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's decision not to start him in the Champions League final. It is emphasized that the Ukrainian footballer's entourage also considered this decision unfair.
It is worth remembering that during the current season, Lunin has become the starting goalkeeper for the "merengues", making 31 appearances in all competitions, 12 of which without conceding a goal.
Despite this, the 23-year-old Ukrainian has had to play second fiddle to Belgian international Thibaut Courtois, who has firmly established himself as Ancelotti's number one goalkeeper. This has led to frustration for Lunin, who was hoping to cement his place as Real Madrid's number one this season.
The report suggests that Lunin's refusal to be photographed with Courtois after the final could be a result of this lingering disappointment. The young goalkeeper was likely still coming to terms with the fact that he had been overlooked for such a crucial game, despite his impressive performances throughout the campaign.
Lunin's development has been closely monitored by the Ukrainian national team, who view him as a potential long-term successor to veteran goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov. The young keeper has already made 10 appearances for the Ukrainian senior team and will be hoping to continue his progression at the highest level.
Real Madrid's decision to keep Courtois as their undisputed goalkeeper means that Lunin may have to consider his options in the upcoming transfer window. A loan or even a permanent move could be on the cards as the Ukrainian looks to get regular game time to continue his development.
Whatever his future plans, Lunin's performances this season have certainly caught the attention of many in the football world. His ability to adapt to the demands of playing at a big club like Real Madrid, coupled with his impressive statistics, have made him a goalkeeper with a bright future.
