Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois proud of clean sheet for Super Cup victory

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was delighted after winning the European Super Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt.

David Alaba and Karim Benzema scored the goals as Real Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup for a record-equalling fifth time.

Courtois said, "We could have scored one or two more in the first half and also in the second half. The last few months we've had three finals and I've kept a clean sheet in each of them.

"It's always important. We know with the strikers we have up front, we'll always score a goal."

Real midfielder Fede Valverde aso said: "We're so happy! We started well tonight, produced a top performance in attack and defence which means we've now won another trophy."
