He's the 6ft 6in giant who's kept Messi out four times this season... why Cech should be wary of returning Courtois
‘Tell Mourinho where to go!’ shout the autograph hunters through Thibaut Courtois’ car window at the gates of Atletico Madrid’s Cerro del Espino training complex.The 6ft 6in goalkeeper is one of the players most in demand by fans of the Spanish league leaders. He is a major reason why they are top and the fans are desperate to see him stay next season.
‘He has learned a lot with us. He needs to keep getting better but it is obvious he is destined for big things,’ said Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone after his goalkeeper had a brilliant game in the 1-1 draw at Barcelona on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie.
Highly rated: Thibaut Courtois (centre left) has been outstanding for Atletico Madrid this season
Standing tall: Courtois bats away an effort against Athletic Bilbao during the La Liga clash
Better luck next time: Courtois has kept Lionel Messi out on all four meetings this season
‘He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world,’ insisted Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino after the 21-year-old had kept out Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta and Leo Messi.
In fact, Messi has failed to score against him in four games so far this season.
Courtois’ key strengths are the fact that, despite his huge frame, he is agile enough to get down quickly to low shots and he inspires confidence in his defence by commanding his area.
Key man: Atletico fans are desperate to keep hold of the Belgian goalkeeper
Not invincible: Barcelona forward Neymar wheels
