Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says he isn't bothered by the criticism he's come in for recently.

Returning for the 0-0 draw with Atletico Madrid, the Belgian was back in the starting XI for Real Madrid, despite being sidelined in midweek as Alphonse Areola was played in his place.

"It doesn't affect me," Courtois said in the mixed zone after.

"I analyse my matches with people who know football.

"I speak with my coaches and my teammates."
