“One thing is The league and another is Champions. There are enough battles to focus on our goal, but the battle is won Anfield, especially after going down 2-0, gives you a plus. In the derby we have to be strong from the start, don’t let them get into the game and play and win”, the Belgian goalkeeper said in remarks to DAZN.
“We only look at ourselves. We are on a good run, playing well, with a lot of intensity and if the victories help you face games like this,” he continued Courtoiswho also spoke about his mistake at Anfield.

If we do this, the game will be good tomorrow, with a good schedule for the children to see it”, claims Courtoissuccumb to the great moment of Vinicius.
