Courtois: 150 victories with Real Madrid
"The coach has a lot of confidence in me and I'm delighted to repay him," said the goalkeeper after clinching his second European Cup with Real Madrid.
Courtois achieved his 150th victory with Real Madrid in the Champions League final. The goalkeeper, who has finished his sixth season at the club with this number of victories and after 235 appearances, said at the end of the game: “It's been a very long and difficult year, but with lots of support from fans, teammates, doctors and coaching staff. The coach has a lot of confidence in me and I'm delighted to repay him.”
“In the first half we didn't do what the coach asked of us. At half-time we ended with a 4-3-3. We were saved in the first half, but we never stopped and we managed to score. I'm so happy. I finished with five clean sheets and I'm not complaining. It's really nice.”
Praise for Lunin
"Lunin has hd great year and we have to be thankful to him. I was playing at a very high level. We'll celebrate with our family, who have been supporting me over the last few months, and with the fans. See you at Cibeles tomorrow."
