Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois: I have made history here

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admits last season was the best of his career.

Along with the Lev Yashin Trophy, the Belgian won the Champions League, LaLiga and Spanish Super Cup.

He said, “The final of the Decimocuarta was a game where I made several crucial and almost impossible saves. It was the nicest moment of the season after so much hard work and sacrifice. It was like seeing the benefits of all my hard work over the season. It was the best game by Courtois for Real Madrid.

“My dream was to win the Champions League and being so decisive and winning the Man of the Match at home is something that will become history for me and for the club. Life continues and a new season starts, but when I retire, I'll realise what I did on that day."

Now crowned the best goalkeeper in the world, Courtois added: “It was great to hear it like that, officially. I play for Real Madrid and only the best play here. Ultimately, I have to help my team to win trophies and when you do it you know you have become the best.

"This award is great, but only when the team wins trophies. It's nice to look at it every day and it motivates you to keep working hard, to win more trophies and to continue improving."
