As per MD<\/a>, Courtois gave his reaction to the match at the Santiago Bernabeu, which he acknowledged was far from easy.<\/p>\n \u201cVery happy with the victory. It was a very tough and hard-fought game, with chances on both sides of the pitch. We have taken it with a lot of sweat and it is a victory against a big team. We have added 9 points out of 9, and now it\u2019s time to go to Anfield.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the end they are\u00a0Juve, it\u2019s not a small team. They defend eleven quite low and look for the counter. It\u2019s not easy, you need rhythm, to move from one side to the other with the wingers more open and so we made more danger with\u00a0Vini. They have hurt us and we have to be attentive for Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n Courtois also spoke glowingly Bellingham, who was heralded for anticipating the second ball that led to his goal in the 57th minute.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what I like about this type of player.\u00a0Vini makes the action and he is aware of the second play because the ball can fall where he has gone. He played a great game, like the whole team. We lacked to score the 2-0 to be calmer, but we can be happy with the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Courtois looked ahead to this weekend\u2019s El Clasico showdown against Barcelona. The Belgium international is keen for revenge, with Real Madrid have lost all four meetings against their bitter rivals last season.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth teams arrive well, so it is going to be a great match. After having lost several games against them last year, this year we can win to be able to open a gap. It\u2019s going to be a great game. We expect a victory, always with respect for them.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois looks ahead to El Clasico – “We expect a victory”<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Real Madrid defeated Juventus in their Champions League clash on Wednesday, and they have Thibaut Courtois to thank for that.
