Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa: Courtois among best in world

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is full of praise for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after their Champions League win at AC Milan this week.

The on-loan Chelsea keeper produced a number of saves in the match, including two brilliant stops in the first half to keep out first Kaka and then Andrea Poli.

Diego Costa said of the 21-year-old: "Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He knows it, knows his power and he has all our confidence.

"Courtois gives us a lot and always gives us amazing help."
