Thibaut Courtois will once once more have been decisive for Real Madrid on Wednesday evening by contributing with his world-class reflexes to Real Madrid’s stunning qualification for the Champions League final. His multiple parades once morest the Manchester City attackers indeed allowed the Spaniards to stay in the match until the end and to begin their comeback in a crazy end to the match.
“It’s crazier (than qualifying once morest Paris SG and Chelsea) because it lasted until the last moment, until the 90th and 92nd minutes… I think that even at 1-0, we weren’t very well until the 89th minute”, reacted Courtois to the microphone of Canal +.
“They have two more chances, one that Ferland (Mendy) save on the line, the other I save with the foot. And suddenly, the equalizer happens and we see that they are afraid. I can’t explain it, it’s unbelievable. When it’s 1-1 and the referee adds six minutes, you know anything is possible. In overtime, we knew we were better than them, that we had the momentum. Everyone gave their all, we knew we might win this match. It’s incredible. Already, being champion of Spain with Madrid on Saturday and now, living that… That’s why we are football players. We dream of clubs like that to experience moments like that.“
