Real Madrid keeper Courtois has pop at Chelsea 'signing ceremony': Photo at stadium - nothing else

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has had a pop at former club Chelsea.

Before last night's 1-1 draw, Courtois recalled leaving Chelsea for Madrid in 2018.

He said, "My presentation was one of the happiest moments of my life. Seeing the Champions League and the fans on the pitch have been very happy times. You feel very special and that's why it's the biggest club in the world.

"The way they present you is something I haven't seen in any other team.

"With Chelsea, it's a photo at the stadium and nothing else. To hear that you are a Real Madrid player is fantastic."
