There's always the chance that Courtois does a WWF-style move in the 90th minute of the second leg. Score is 0-0, extra time is looming, Torres takes a shot from 12 yards which eventually reaches Cour

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

When I rewatched the save of the 1v1 I noticed he seems to get low to the ground so quickly, and I mean this in a good way Just watch Scznenzyzne-thingy against Naismith yesterday When he gets in t

http://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-madrid/20150515/20111772652/courtois-pillado-en-el-aeropuerto-de-madrid.html- El mundo deportive reported that Curtois was seen on Madrid airport and its something with his trasnfer do Real. Hope its pure bullshit

LOOOL.

1) If we're to sell him, it'll be for ridiculous money. Like £60m plus.

2) We're not selling him.

3) Cech could be fit to play vs WBA, so he's probably been given the weekend off and is going to watch Atleti-Barca.

Yeah, most likely he is there to watch Atlético-Barca indeed. That is just an overcreative journalist I think ;)

The only thing I'm disappointed about tonight if Tibo for the third goal. Pretty shite to be honest, no excuse to say his vision was impaired, you cannot be beaten from there at that angle on your near post, venemous strike or not. That being said the defence wasn't that smart from that corner.

He should have stopped the penalty, too, IMO.

But meh, champions.

Should have stopped the penalty? I don't a GK should EVER stop a penalty. Usually down to luck.

He means having dived the correct way and the right height, he should have had a stronger hand on it to keep it out since he did reach it and it was fairly comfortable for him.

^ this 100%.

He should have stopped the penalty. It wasn't hit with that much power, at a nice height, quite close to him, and he got one of those size 13 gloves on it. He should be able to parry that wide of the post for me. Getting a big hand on a penalty and conceding is worse than diving the complete opposite way, IMO, it's a huge disappointment for a goalkeeper.

Remember that Courtois is human, no goalkeeper in history should ever stop a penalty. 25% of the penalties get touched by the goalkeeper and still go in, that doesn't mean all those 25% should have been saved. I think you expect too much from him Alex, you can expect him to play like the number 1 goalkeeper in the world, but somewhere he will always be human also.

It will be a good thing for Courtois that Cech leaves this summer. De Gea can make 30 horrible mistakes in a row, and people keep cheering for him. Courtois makes a little one, the forums explode, the newspapers explode and the chaos starts immediately. It could have been expected, with Cech at the bench, but it's really over the top. People overreacted this season with Courtois and overprotected De Gea. The gap between the perception of those 2 goalkeepers was enormous. Courtois had a better season than De Gea, for sure.

Watched the recap of the game again, he played a good game Alex. That first save was an excellent one, the rest of his saves were 'normal'. The penalty was a penalty and the third goal was a surprising shot in the corner and very very hard, don't know if you can blame him anything for that.

He didn't play bad, but could have done better with the 2 & 3 goals.

No, Courtois didn't have a better season than De Gea... Courtois had a decent season, saved us several points but he hasn't hit the level he had at Atletico yet.

Also, you're the one overreacting all the time. As soon as someone says anything remotely negative about KDB or Courtois you're there to tell them they're wrong; just stahp

United fans wanted De Gea's head his first season.
