Thibaut Courtois 'favourite' to start in Champions League final

Thibaut Courtois is the 'favourite' to start the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, reports The Athletic's Mario Cortegana.

Despite the Belgian's lengthy injury recovery, Real Madrid 'still see him as the best goalkeeper in the world'. If the 31-year-old is fit, the Whites will count on him in the biggest game of the season.

In fact, 'that has always been the idea' of the coaching staff, even though they are impressed with Andriy Lunin's progress this campaign.

Anyway, the final decision on who will definitely start against Dortmund is yet to be made.

Lunin has conceded 28 goals in 30 appearances for Real Madrid this season, keeping 12 clean sheets. Courtois has only played once this term, at home against Cadiz, but impressed too.

Who should start in the Champions League final and why?
