Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois is the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi of goalkeepers, ex-Madrid goalie, Santiago Canizares has said. This is coming after his performance against Stuttgart in the Champions League this week, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he considers Courtois the best goalkeeper he has ever seen play football because he is much better than any other goalie the world has ever watched between the sticks.
He added that the Belgian consistently makes the difference for Real Madrid in difficult games.
His words, “Courtois is the best of all. There was a time when we said: ‘There’s Messi and there are the others, or there’s [Diego] Maradona’… well, this is similar. Courtois is the Maradona, the Messi, the Cristiano of the goal. He’s much better than the rest and he’s there every day. We have become accustomed to important saves from balls that go into the corner, balls that go down to the ground quickly, which with another goalkeeper we would highlight, we have become accustomed to seeing this as normal.
That is the greatness of, for me, the best goalkeeper I have ever seen play football. A Thibaut Courtois who is once again the MVP of the match and where for Real Madrid really made the difference, especially in goal. Without a doubt (Courtois is the best in history).”
WOW.
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
