One of the heroes of the evening on the Real Madrid side, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, spoke to the microphones of Canal + following the victory once morest Chelsea (1-3).
If you had to give Real Madrid a score out of 10 tonight? “I don’t really like doing that but hey.. I would say 8, we conceded a goal, we conceded a few chances, we might have scored one or two more goals to get 10 but we had a big game anyway .”
Any regrets regarding the goal conceded? “Yes, he put in a powerful header, I tried to stop him but I mightn’t, it’s a shame. But I made two more saves, 1-3 is a good result. But it’s always a shame to concede a goal like that.”
Real have mastered their subject: “Yes, we were good defensively and offensively, we played well with the ball from the back, we found space. At the end it was a little more complicated, we played more with long balls. But it It’s good not to have conceded more, especially with the end of the away goals rule.”
Not the same Real as once morest PSG: “I think we were more comfortable with the ball, we came out better from behind. Against Paris we didn’t do that well, Paris were pressing a lot and we had trouble finding space. Today we succeeded and we scored quick goals, it was better than in Paris.”
