Relegated to the Real Madrid bench in favor of Andriy Lunin, while he hoped to be part of the Spain group for the Euro next June, Kepa Arrizabalaga drags his spleen every day at the training center of the Casa blanca. He is disappointed.
Recruited on loan by Real Madrid from Chelsea, in the wake of Thibaut Courtois’ serious injury, Kepa Arrizabalaga blew hot and cold in the Merengues’ goals and ended up losing his place after 18 matches in all competitions. . Carlo Ancelotti has in fact decided to continue the season with Andriy Lunin as number 1, pending the possible return to competition of Thibaut Courtois in May.
Suddenly downgraded, Kepa is very unhappy. As Relevo reports, the 29-year-old has completely lost his smile on a daily basis at Madrid City. He is a shadow of himself. It must be said that the goalkeeper trained at Athletic Bilbao, in addition to languishing on the Real bench, now has very little chance of participating in Europe with the Spanish national team. The disillusionment is terrible.
Number 3 behind Simon and Raya
After a 2022-2023 season with 39 matches in all competitions, Kepa Arrizabalaga was part of the group of the Selection for the League of Nations, won on penalties against Croatia on June 19. He then remained number 3 behind Unai Simon and David Raya during the international windows of September and October, before giving this place to Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad).
National coach Luis de la Fuente will soon announce a new squad for the two friendly matches at the end of March (22 and 26) against Colombia and Brazil. La Furia Roja will face Croatia, Italy and Albania in Group B of the German Euro.
