Courtois finds his rhythm Real Madrid Current run is his best in a Real Madrid shirt

As fewer and fewer people talk about him, it's clear that Thibaut Courtois is gaining confidence and improving his performances.

He was one of few positives against Real Betis as he denied Sergio Canales, Loren Moron and Nabil Fekir from scoring the game's opening goal.

Since conceding to Lago Junior at Son Moix, it has been 353 minutes since Courtois last had to pick the ball out of his net, keeping clean sheets against Galatasaray, Leganes and Betis.

That is a new record for minutes without conceding for the Belgian, managing 342 between November and December 2018 under Santiago Solari before conceding three against CSKA Moscow.

That night against Brugge

With Madrid 2-0 down at half-time and having been whistled by his own fans, Courtois was withdrawn due to stomach problems against Club Brugge and missed the following game against Granada for the same reason.

Back-to-back clean sheets on international duty against San Marino and Kazakhstan took his career total to 200 clean sheets and gave him confidence once again.

Since his first clean sheet of the season against Sevilla, he has improved for his club whilst accumulating seven games without conceding for his country.

Now with five clean sheets in a month for club and country, he feels positive.

"I feel good now, before too but it's good to see things coming together now," Courtois said.

Next challenge: The Champions League

After conceding nine goals in three Champions League games against CSKA Moscow, Ajax and Club Brugge, keeping a clean sheet in consecutive matches against Galatasaray will be his number one aim.
