Goalkeeper of Real Madrid, the Belgian looks back on the extraordinary qualification against City on Wednesday.
Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid goalkeeper, qualified for the Champions League final ) : «It’s crazier (than qualifying against Paris-SG and Chelsea) because it lasted until the last moment, until the 90th and 92nd minutes… I think that even at 1-0, we don’t wasn’t great until the 89th minute. They still have two chances, one that Ferland (Mendy) saves on the line, the other that I save with the foot. And suddenly, the equalizer happens and we see that they are afraid. I can’t explain it, it’s unbelievable. When it’s 1-1 and the referee adds six minutes, you know anything is possible. In overtime, we knew we were better than them, that we had the momentum.
Everyone gave their all, we knew we could win this match. It’s incredible. Already, to be champion of Spain with Madrid on Saturday and now, to live that… That’s why we are football players. We dream of clubs like that to experience moments like that.»
