Real Madrid left the Sánchez-Pizjuán stronger in all aspects. Beyond the intensity and commitment of the whole team, Thibaut Courtois kept a clean sheet. This is something that, after conceding 9 in 5 games, is quite exciting at the Bernabeu.
Hoever, the best goalkeeper at the 2018 World Cup has passed that and now has a new challenge: keeping a clean sheet at the Bernabeu for the first time in 234 days. Since the 3-0 home win against Alaves in February, the Belgian shot-stopper hasn't stopped conceding.
The start of Thibaut Courtois' spell at Real Madrid hasn't got off to the best start and, despite no one doubting his potential- which is already proven- some sections of the 'Los Blancos' faithful are questioning the decision to let Keylor Navas leave for PSG.
Whilst playing for Real, the Belgian has a record of conceding a goal every 65 minutes. Very far way from heo the 83 he recorded at Genk, 110 at Atlético and 91 at Chelsea. A situation that only motivates Courtois so that Zidane keeps his faith in him.
