Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois blasts LaLiga after Osasuna draw

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois blasted the LaLiga after their 0-0 draw at Osasuna.

Storm Filomena has caused chaos throughout Spain, With Atletico Madrid's game with Athletic Club called off, while Real Madrid themselves spent over four hours in a plane on Friday as a frozen runway delayed their flight to Pamplona.

"I want to thank the people of Osasuna for having the pitch like this," Courtois told Movistar.

"But it is unfortunate what LaLiga have done to us. We know what the conditions were, and of course we were able to play, but taking off with the frozen runway and now we can't go home. We are human and now a show."

"We have done what was asked, as if we didn't come [to Pamplona] they would have docked three points from us. But I don't think it's safe, we aren't puppets that always have to play.

"We made the effort today, but we have to think about these trips and the logistics needed to return home."
