The freak goal stunned the Santiago Bernabeu into silence.
TNT Sports commentator Ally McCoist slammed Lunin, saying: “I ain’t having the goalkeeper.”
Meanwhile, fans commented: “He should NEVER be allowed to get beaten from there.”
Another added: “That was a horrible mistake.”
However, the Treble winners joy was short-lived as Real Madrid hit back with two quick goals to make it 2-1 in the 12th and 14th minute.
