Lunin: “Discipline, attitude, and determination were key”
“Against great rivals, you have to know how to endure, manage the matches, and stay united as a team until the end,” the goalkeeper emphasized.
Lunin started at Camp Nou and delivered a standout performance. He made a spectacular save in the 66th minute following a header by Gerard Martín. The goalkeeper explained the keys to the victory in El Clásico: “Discipline and attitude were key because Barcelona had more possession. Also, the determination because playing away is tough, and today these three points were important because we all knew how things stood.”
“Teamwork was important. When you can dominate, play well, and try to keep a clean sheet, you do it. But when the game gets tough, especially against great rivals like today, you have to know how to endure, manage the matches, and stay united as a team until the end.”
His incredible save
“Nuno (the goalkeeping coach) always says 'well-trained,' and I believe it's because of the daily work.”
Five consecutive victories
“It’s important not to stop or get distracted thinking about that. We have to keep improving because there are many things to work on. We need to improve as a team, and it's a journey. We have a lot of work ahead.”
The winning goal
“In recent years, the team has connected well with the phrase 'Until the end, vamos Real.' We have to focus more on our work because this team always wants to win, and it’s not easy, which is why we have to work hard.”
