But the real surprise came in the form of special recognition from club president Florentino Pérez for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
In a rare gesture, Pérez made his way to the dressing room to express his deep admiration for Courtois’ performance. He praised his decisive save, which prevented a certain goal in the final moments of the match, even though the intervention resulted in a minor injury.
Pérez emphasized that the save was a turning point in the match and told the Belgian goalkeeper: “You’re amazing. What a save that saved the team.” This reflects the club’s strong confidence in him ahead of the upcoming El Clásico.
According to statements made by José Luis Sánchez on the program El Chiringuito de Jugones, the latest reports indicate that Courtois’ injury is not serious and that he is undergoing appropriate treatment to be fully fit for the next match.
Real Madrid has extended Courtois’ contract until the summer of 2027, with a potential for further renewal. This confirms his status as one of Europe’s top goalkeepers and a cornerstone in the club’s long-term plans.
Courtois’ performance in the recent match is not an isolated incident. He has previously delivered game-changing saves against top-tier teams, consistently proving that he remains at the highest level despite his age and fully deserves his place among the club’s legends.
These developments offer a clear indication that Real Madrid is relying heavily on its veteran goalkeeper in the ongoing battle for domestic and European dominance, which raises expectations ahead of the highly anticipated El Clásico.
