Thibaut Courtois has surpassed Keylor Navas' clean sheet streak and has immediately said he never doubted his capabilities and ignored all the criticism he's been getting as of late.

“I never doubted myself, but people see it differently when you do concede. I have always felt that way. I keep working hard to help the team and improve my game".


The Belgian played a very important role in Madrid's win over Eibar which comes on the back of the Champions League heroics against Galatasaray.

“I don't think we've played as badly as people have been saying at times. We played well against Betis, we just couldn't score. We're playing well and today it was important to know when to look in behind and when to come short. They pressured us a lot, but we carried out exactly what the coach wanted from us”.

“Real Madrid are always trying to stay in the hunt for a title, we want to keep going from strength to strength. It was important to win before the international break. It is a shame that it's come now as we’re in fine form, but it’s time to play for our countries".
