Courtois: I was pissed off with Hazard for losing the ball twice Real Madrid Had to make a big save to seal the win

Thibaut Courtois made a big save late on to prevent Real Madrid from throwing away all three points as they beat Levante 3-2 on Saturday, and he admitted to being frustrated by teammate Eden Hazard.

Madrid had led 3-0 at half-time but conceded twice in the second half and almost saw the win slip from their grasp before the end.

"He almost scored a goal with what he did [in attack]," Courtois told Movistar.

"He has a lot of pace with the ball, it's what he does.

"But I got a little pissed off with him because he lost the ball twice."

At half-time it looked as though Los Blancos would go on to score more and widen the margin, but it was their net that was found twice in the second half.

"We were thinking of a clean sheet at half time," Courtois added.

"Sometimes we have to continue in the same way, but we didn't do that after the break.

"It became 3-1 and then 3-2 and we knew we couldn't drop points again. In the end, I was able to make the stop to save us."

Courtois believes that Levante's change of system allowed them to come back into the game.

"If we kept going like in the first half, with all due respect, we would have won 5-0 or 6-0," he explained.

"We played our best 45 minutes of the year, but this is football.

"Levante changed their system and we lacked precision with our passing."
