Despite Real Madrid’s exit from the Champions League, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois delivered a standout performance against Arsenal. He notably saved a penalty from Bukayo Saka and made several crucial stops throughout the match.
Post-match, Courtois expressed his disappointment, stating that the team lacked cohesion in attack and missed having a traditional striker. He acknowledged Arsenal’s quality, noting their effective gameplay and organization.
Courtois in the previous leg was furious at his teammate for giving away cheap fouls that led to the free kicks.
In this match, he berated his teammates for their inability to find a way through the Arsenal defense. The team’s lack of cohesion was their main downfall, and Courtois was furious about it in his post-match conference. He hopes that the team can move past this and deliver better performances in the coming weeks.
