Real Madrid second choice goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, has revealed his pleasure at seeing Real Madrid beat Cacereno in the Copa del Rey clash.

The Los Blancos won the game 1-0, and Lunin kept a clean sheet, but the Ukrainian admitted it wasn’t an easy game.

He said: “We knew the team and the pitch that awaited us here. They’re a strong, competitive side, it’s a tough place to come and their fans really got behind them. In the end, it’s been a good night for us, which is the most important thing.

“One of the big differences is that we didn’t have much of the ball. That was down to the pitch, we struggled to get on the ball and play the football we’re used to playing. That made it difficult, playing long all the time and battling to win our duels. But we have to win these kinds of games as well.”

On his clean sheet, Lunin said: “I’m pleased with the clean sheet, but that’s down to the whole team. We had to work hard for it, and I’d like to thank the team.

“The most important thing is the win and we have to keep going.”
