Courtois: ''It was a good game, an important win and we're playing another final that we want to win”
“We gave it everything and it was a huge effort: we scored two great goals and we defended well,” said the Madrid goalkeeper.
Thibaut Courtois showed once again how good he is in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup. After the match, our goalkeeper spoke to Realmadrid TV and said: "It was a very important win. It's a derby and we wanted to win it after losing in LaLiga and also to play in another final. We gave it everything and it was a huge effort because the pitch wasn't good and it was very hot. We defended and attacked as a team. We scored two great goals and defended well. They didn't create any great chances. It was a good game, an important victory and we're playing another final that we want to win."
Valverde’s rocket
“It was a gift to Roberto Carlos in Brazil. It was a great goal. I saw it come out and I said what a great goal! I know that Fede hits it like crazy and nobody expected the effect outside the bar. He drew it like that, like in the Oliver and Benji cartoons.”
His current form
“I'm feeling good and I'm working very hard to continue at this level. After I broke my knee two years ago there were a lot of doubts from people, but I'm happy to show that it was a stone in the road and that it doesn't mean anything. I'm very happy to be playing at this level and I hope I can continue to help the team on Sunday.”
The final against Barcelona
“We have to win. Last year we lost two finals against them and we want to win, just like them, who lost the Clásico in LaLiga and will be hungry for revenge. It will be a great game between two teams who will want to win. We have to recover well and have fresh legs on Sunday to win.”
