First step to remove Courtois plaque from Paseo de Centenarios

This Tuesday, December 17, the traditional social commission of Atlético de Madrid. A meeting where some leaders of the red and white team meet with some representatives of the social mass of Colchonera, so that the decisions made by the club are more in line with the interests of the fans.

At the last meeting the first step was taken to remove the license plate. Thibaut Courtois of Centennial Walk located outside of Riyadh Air Metropolitanas revealed by the Bendita Additions Rojiblanca program. A Walk that has changed its name in its time Centenarians in Legends at its request Social Commission.

The club has agreed that the Social Commission to be held before the summer will formulate the criteria by which a plaque can be removed from the club. Centennial Walk. A first step to have the option of having other plaques of other historic footballers of the club that can be removed.

A detail that can cause this, in addition to Courtoisothers may be omitted, such as Hugo Sánchez, Agüero either João Felix who in their time earned the enmity of the red and white fans after a rather sudden departure.

Thibaut Courtois played on Athletic from 2011 to 2015 on loan from Chelsea. At that time it was difficult for him to play for the English team, and he trained as a top-level goalkeeper in Vicente Calderon. As a red and white he achieved a Liga, a Europa League, a European Super Cup and a Copa del Rey. He was the undisputed starter in goal, and after playing 154 games he earned his badge in Centennial Walk.

The problem came because 2014 he went Chelseaand after four years at London decided to return to Madrid. Because there is no room in the Athleticdecided to sign for real Madrid. Something that does not suit mattress fans.

The conflict escalated already, in the run-up to the final match Liverpool in 2022, they ask him about what he lost Athletic and against the white team. “If you face the real Madridyou know they won the finals. Now I am on the good side of history,” he said in a press conference.

Something that, logically, aggravated the fans who came to tear the plaque, then the president of the club himself Atlético, Enrique Cerezo will ensure that “if you want to remove the plate Courtois go with a pick and shovel and remove it.”

The final stage of confrontation with Courtois It happened in the last derby after he scored the real Madrid. The goalkeeper celebrated and encouraged the cheering crowd to continue singing, something that didn’t go down well with the fans who started throwing things at him to the point that the match had to be cut short after 10 minutes.

Now, the next chapter of disagreement between Courtois and the Atlético de Madrid.
