Real Madrid goalkeeper Lunin happy with clean sheet for Copa win at Cacereno

Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin was happy with his clean sheet for victory at Copa del Rey opponents Cacereno.

Real won 1-0 thanks to Rodrygo Goes' goal.

Lunin reflected on the team's efforts, stating: “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.

“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.

“The gaffer and coaching staff manage it really well. We train well and practically everyone has their own programme. They prepare us well. We're well up for playing in every competition."
