Russian goalkeeper Andrey Lunev has revealed that the Europa League matches against German club Bayer Leverkusen were the most memorable events of 2024 for him.

“The past year was quite productive and normal,” Lunev told TASS. “The most memorable events in 2024 were probably the games in the Europa League. To be specific, the matches against Bayer Leverkusen were definitely the highlight.”

In the Europa League Round of 16, Lunev’s team Qarabag was eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen on aggregate. The first leg in March ended in a 2-2 draw, while the return match resulted in a 3-2 defeat.
