Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been named the 2022 Yashin Trophy winner after being voted as the best goalkeeper of the 2021/22 season.

The award comes one day after he missed out on Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Barcelona at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu due to injury.

Courtois was the star of the Champions League final against Liverpool, as he managed to almost singlehandedly keep his team in the game with some big saves.

He competed with extraordinary goalkeepers such as Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Alisson, Ederson and Jan Oblak but managed to win the prize for best shot-stopper worldwide.

"I want to thank my team because thanks to them I have been able to win this trophy," Courtois said.

"I want to remember my family and my children for the support I received from them throughout the year."
