Ganar to Real Madrid It has become a complicated matter, as evidenced by the conquest of the Super Cup against Athletic. Rivals see Thibaut Courtois as a giant who is impossible to beat. He shows security and confidence in everything he does and against Athletic he showed it again with the penalty saved against Raúl García… with his foot. It seems unbeatable except for those who decide the name of the best. Curious.So much so that Ancelotti described his match as “authentic madness”. His moment of form is demonstrated with the penalty saved against Athletic, which also happened against Valencia, in the previous one that they had thrown at him.
In the afternoon of this Monday it is delivered The Best Award the best of last season. Just as it happened in the Ballon d’Or, or rather in the Golden Glove, Courtois is off the podium. The truth is that he continues to show, in each game, that he is up to them. With the one achieved in Riyadh, he already has 13 titles, the fourth with Real Madrid.
The goalkeeper attributed it at the time to some of his statements questioning the calendar and other stories related to UEFA, but the truth is that he is also out of the FIFA awards and has given his place to Donnarumma (wins France Football award), Neur and Mendy.
A very solid Madrid starting with the goal
Except for the ruling against Getafe, Ancelotti’s men have gotten used to not losing, as shown by the numbers of the last twenty games, in which he was only defeated against Quique Sánchez Flores’ team, which has led him to the conquest of the first title of the season and to make a difference in LaLiga.
The solidity begins with the success up front and the work of the midfield, but especially with that good defensive work, which leads him to live with a certain tranquility at a Courtois who continues to grow until it seems that the goal shrinks and seems so small against the Belgian giant.
“The best in the world”
Last summer Real Madrid wanted to have a gesture with which Florentino Pérez considers the “best goalkeeper in the world. I say it with sincerity and without encouragement and desire to show off”. The leaders of the Madrid entity offered the Belgian a new contract until 2026 and the goalkeeper accepted with his eyes closed before his identification with the white club.
