Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois proud of his three super saves

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was delighted with their clean sheet for yesterday's 3-0 win at Getafe.

Real won via goals from Luka Modric and a brace from Raphael Varane.

Courtois said, "We're very pleased. The defensive efforts have been great and it's helping us win games. At a place like this is was going to be very tough not to concede. The whole team is very happy and everyone was absolutely focused on winning here. Not many teams are going to win games easily here."

On his three crucial saves, the Belgian took fans through each one.

"The first was the hardest because he came into the area and struck it very well, and I was unsighted because Casemiro, Militão and Varane were in the path of the ball. The second was easier, and the third was a powerful header from close range.

"They were important stops because otherwise we could have gone in level at half-time, but they allowed us to be more relaxed in the second half."
