Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois fumes as Man City ace De Bruyne named 'Best Belgian Abroad'

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is unimpressed by Belgium teammate Kevin de Bruyne.

The Manchester City star was named 'Best Belgian Abroad' during the Gala of the Golden Shoe - much to the chagrin of Courtois.

Courtois feels snubbed by Belgian's football press over the poll.

HLN reported: "Courtois had just had the best calendar year of his career.

"The miracles in the Champions League matches against Chelsea, Manchester City and especially in the final against Liverpool were still fresh in the memory. And yet the jury of assembled French and Dutch-speaking journalists chose Kevin De Bruyne."
