Real Madrid coach Zidane: Courtois? He's the best

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane praised Thibaut Courtois for their 3-0 win over Getafe.

Courtois made a string of crucial saves when the game was in the balance.

Zidane enthused afterwards, “He saved us on two or three occasions in the first half and that proved decisive. He's a key member of our team and he's been showing why for a long time. I'm pleased with his performance. He's my goalkeeper, and as far as I'm concerned, he's the best. No doubt at all. All the players I have here are the best.

“We have to be calm and keep working hard. We must keep a cool head in front of goal.

"Sometimes the ball just won't go in, but it went for us today and Varane got his goal, which just shows we have a glut of resources. We have to make the most of all of them and we're hugely satisfied today."
