REVEALED: Amazing final stats for unbeaten Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois maintained his 100 per cent finals record for last night's European Super Cup victory.

Real Madrid defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in Helsinki with Courtois keeping another clean sheet in a final.

The Belgium No1 is unbeaten in four finals as a Real Madrid player, making 19 saves from 19 shots faced during those games.

Courtois famously said after victory in the Champions League final against Liverpool last season: “I saw many tweets about me saying I was going to be humbled tonight, but it was the other way around.

"I needed to win a final for my career, for all the hard work, to put respect on my name, because I think I don't have enough respect, especially in England."
