Turk Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid goalkeeper, played a great match today in the group stage of the European Champions League
Courtois complained about the turf of the Santiago Bernabeu after the win over RB Leipzig and said the “condition of the field” was not helping them in football
“Leipzig are a good team and they cost us a lot today. The first half was not good, the condition of the pitch does not help us to play football. The coach changed things at half-time, we didn’t create too much danger but we scored what we did. It is important that we win these matches and now that by winning the double duel against Shakhtar you have already qualified”
Courtois analyzed the errors made which caused some uncertainty in the first half and celebrated by keeping a clean sheet in the European competition. “The pressure failed, we were one-on-one at the start and they found room to play easily, once we fixed they didn’t come out well anymore”
“We knew they had a danger behind them with good players who could surprise us. I was attentive with a few stops in the first half and the second was quieter. It’s important to keep a clean sheet because in La Liga we haven’t achieved it yet. Let’s see on Sunday”
