[Saba Sports News] In the recent Supercopa final, Real Madrid lost 2-3 to Barcelona and missed out on the title. After the match, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was furious in the mixed zone when a reporter described the team’s performance as “weak,” even threatening to leave without giving an interview. When the journalist commented that Real Madrid’s performance was “very weak,” Courtois immediately retorted, “No, please maintain some basic respect. If you say that, I will walk out now.”
Courtois further stated, “Everyone thought we would lose 0-5; we are angry about the loss, especially since we have had a few stupid defeats this season, like the one against Celta, where we only showed our true performance and pressed after receiving a red card.” He also defended his teammate Vinicius Junior, saying, “There are ups and downs in life, but today he proved that he is still the familiar Vinicius.” Additionally, Courtois mentioned that this loss wouldn’t change anything. They must continue to fight, battling match after match—whether in the league, Champions League, or Copa del Rey, each game deserves their full effort.
