A win is a win.
Real Madrid were forced to rebuild their midfield and start Alexander-Arnold there because of injuries (Tchouameni) and suspensions (Güler, Camavinga, Silva).
Still, they got the three points against one of the best teams they will face in this Group Stage.
Courtois is already 34 years old and he will enter his decline sooner rather than later.
He rescued the three points for Real Madrid and appears ready to keep his “world’s best goalkeeper” title alive another year.
A win is a win. Real Madrid were forced to rebuild their midfield and start Alexander-Arnold there because of injuries (Tchouameni) and suspensions (Güler, Camavinga, Silva). Still, they got the three points against one of the best teams they will face in this Group Stage. That matters.
Thibaut Courtois delivers his first masterclass of the season. He still has it. Courtois is already 34 years old and he will enter his decline sooner rather than later. But it is not this day. He rescued the three points for Real Madrid and appears ready to keep his “world’s best goalkeeper” title alive another year. He will be there when Madrid need him.
