After winning the UEFA Super Cup with Real Madrid, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois expressed his joy and also mentioned that although Real Madrid hopes to win all seven titles this year, it won’t be easy.
“We’re not sure if we can achieve the feat of winning seven trophies,” Courtois said in the mixed zone at the National Stadium in Warsaw. “But at Real Madrid, our goal is always to win as many trophies as possible, and we strive to be the brightest star in every game. While winning seven trophies sounds exciting, achieving it would mean going through countless challenges, including the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and many of our teammates will also need to represent their national teams. We can’t predict the future, but if we can achieve seven trophies, it would be a great achievement.”
In the game against Atalanta, Courtois was outstanding, especially in the closing stages of the game when he made a key save to deny the opponent’s last-minute winner, securing Real Madrid’s victory. “I made that save, the tide of the game changed, and with our strong attacking power, we ultimately sealed the win.”
“That save was a bit unexpected, I tipped the ball away with my fingertips,” he continued to analyze. “Facing a strong opponent like Atalanta, their style of play is unique, although it’s very entertaining, it’s a headache for opponents. They maintain high pressure, which makes it crucial to run during the game. We controlled the pace of the game, and Atalanta is usually a team with strong attacking firepower.”
Courtois is proud of his excellent performance: “I kept a clean sheet in the last two Champions League finals, and now I’ve done it in the Super Cup. It feels great, I haven’t conceded a goal in six games, I’m in great shape, and I hope to continue this momentum into the league. Lopez made things tough for me in preseason, but now it seems like it was all worth it, and I’ll continue to contribute to the team.”
