The Ukrainian goalkeeper of Real Madrid performed a miracle in front of Jonathan David, during -Real Madrid, with a save which will undoubtedly remain as one of the notable actions of this second day of the Champions League.

Aggressive and uninhibited against the reigning European champion, Lille almost saw its efforts rewarded when the Kosovar genius Edon Zhegrova, in an acrobatic number to escape Vinicius, managed to deliver a diving cross from the left aimed at Jonathan David. The Canadian then appeared behind Carvajal to place a powerful header almost from point blank range, a ball that he already saw at the bottom.

This was without counting on the exceptional reactivity of Madrid goalkeeper Lunin, agile as a feline to throw himself on the ground without being fooled by the rebound. And immediately got up to push the Lille striker’s second attempt back onto the post. With possession of the ball to the advantage of LOSC, Real were struggling in the first half hour to settle the game and set up a lasting highlight.

Lucas Chevalier was still called upon by the Real attackers. Vigilant in front of a strike from Vinicius (6th), Chevalier also intervened on a shot from the other Brazilian, Endrick (19th).
