🇧🇪 Thibaut Courtois


 Share

Recommended Posts

Atletico were indebted to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois for keeping his side on level terms.

The Belgian teenager, who is on loan from Chelsea, did well to deny Diego Buonanotte at his near post after the Malaga man had latched onto a diagonal ball over the full-back.

Courtois then produced an even better stop in the 18th minute to tip over Jose Rondon's powerful header.

He played very well indeed - couple of top class saves from the young man as well (no Wilkins).

Vocal, confident, imposing. Said it before, but so impressive for a 19-year-old.

Sounds like he had a very good game.

Now on is the Belgian Golden Boot awards, Courtois is one of the favorites altough he only played half a season in Belgium in 2011..

Another favorite is Cfc target(?) Kevin De Bruyne... But his chances will be slim probably cause of his injuries trough the year..

I will keep you updated :)

Edit: Damn, the points of the first round (Jan 11 to June 11) are known, Thibaut finished 2nd in that round, behind Axel Witsel. This means that he defo will not win the golden boot, cause he didn't play in Belgium from july to December. Neither did Axel Witsel. On third spot is Kevin De Bruyne, but more then 100 points behind Witsel, we'll have to see if he will get that kind of points in second round but probably not..
