Thibaut Courtois declared his candidacy for a starting position at Wembley with a good performance against Alavés. The Belgian goalkeeper made 10 saves, two of which were of great merit, and went a third straight game without conceding a goal. Since his return, no one has defeated him.
“I understand that there are people who may doubt how you will come back, but I know that I will come back strong. I am still the same Courtois or even better. I will continue working to improve. Maybe I need a game like today, with a lot of shots, I need close, quick shots with reflexes,” he said.
“The team has a few days off but I will continue training and working with Llopis. What I am doing now is going out on the field. I am happy and I have to continue working to reach my best level,” the Belgian continue.
Courtoi also asked to respect Borussia Dortmund. “It was a difficult final against a very difficult opponent. They had good games against PSG, Atleti and in the group stage. They are strong teams who defend well and score a lot of goals. I hope we win , but we have to respect “We have to be at our best level at Wembley to win the Champions League,” warned the goalkeeper, focusing on the fashionable couple formed by Vinicius and Bellingham.
“They are the best in the world, they are different but they contribute a lot. Bellingham with his arrivals, Vinicius attracts two or three defenders… Bellingham has combined very well and had a great year. Vini has an incredible talent and hasn’t reached your roof yet,” he said.
