Courtois After UCL win: 'I saw a lot of tweets saying I will get humbled'

"In a press conference I said Real Madrid don't play finals, they win them," Thibaut Courtois said in an interview after the Liverpool game.

"I said I was now on the right side of history and I saw a lot of tweets coming my way saying I will get humbled. But it was the other way around today.

"Today I needed to win this final for my career and for all my hard work, to put respect on my name. Because I don’t think I get enough respect, especially from England.

"I saw a lot of criticism even after a great season, saying that I was not good enough, so..."

Courtois put in a magnificent performance against Liverpool, making 9 (nine! NINE!!!) saves on Salah & co.

His brilliance played a key role in Madrid winning the final.
