Andriy Lunin has been selected by Carlo Ancelotti to be in goal for the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona in Riyadh on Sunday. It was a momentous decision for the future of Real Madrid.
The goalkeeper was the big doubt for 'El Clasico' in Saudi Arabia. Kepa started the semi-final against Atletico Madrid, but will be on the bench against Barcelona.
The Spanish goalkeeper's performances in the Madrid derby could have tipped the balance in favour of the Ukrainian. Kepa was unsafe, especially in the 2-3 with 12 minutes to go.
Lunin, who did take his chance in the games Kepa missed through injury, will be in goal in Riyadh to try to win the first title of the season.
Despite the decision in Saudi Arabia, Carlo Ancelotti is clear, according to 'Cadena COPE', that Kepa will be the starting goalkeeper for the derby against Atletico in Copa del Rey.
