The best for the end. Due to a pubalgia, Thibaut Courtois is forced to forfeit the four matches that awaited the Belgian selection during the Nations League, which therefore means that his brilliant 2021-2022 season ended with a… chef- work. Timeless. This Champions League final on May 28, during which he will have disgusted the Liverpool attack, Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah in the lead, with his exceptional parades. All to preserve the short success of Real Madrid (1-0), synonymous with the 14th coronation in the queen of European competitions for the merengue club. A performance which had logically earned Courtois the honorary title of man of the match, and which is therefore all the more impressive as the last rampart suffers from pubalgia.
An evil certainly less disabling for a goalkeeper than for an outfield player, but which encourages him to spare himself in the coming weeks, after a busy season. And a last weekend of madness between the title at the Stade de France and the civil marriage of his brother which he attended in stride. Before joining his national team in Tubize to show the evil that tormented him, not without having carried out some tests in training. Courtois will not successively challenge the Netherlands (June 3), Poland (June 8), Wales (June 11) and finally Poland again (June 14). The goalkeeper can now enjoy a well-deserved rest after a year in which he also won the La Liga title.
