Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid goalkeeper, spoke after the painful defeat against Barcelona in the match that took place between the two teams yesterday evening, Sunday, at Camp Nou, in the 26th round of the Spanish Premier League.
After this victory, Barcelona raised its score to 68 points, leading the competition standings, 12 points behind Real Madrid, who finished in second place with 56 points.
Courtois’ remarks after El Clasico:
Saying Goodbye to the League?: “Yeah, we have to be honest. We never give up, but there really is a four game difference. Nothing is impossible, but the truth is that it is very difficult. We have to win the cup.”
Retreat in the second half: “Today we played a good game. They had chances and so did we. We had the lead and control in the first half, but they managed to score the equalizer in the last minute. This changed everything for us.”
He added, “Maybe there weren’t many chances, but we had a lot of them in the second half and we didn’t take advantage of that. It’s unfortunate that Asensio’s goal was disallowed… and then they scored the winning goal against us.”
Your decisive saves in the match: “I am happy to help the team, but today only the victory counts. It’s a shame, but we must not give up. There are two absolutely amazing months left. I’m sure we can come here to win the cup and have the Champions League to go on.”
