Vinicius: The sign gave me more power, and I want to make history

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois appeared in press statements after beating Manchester City (3-2), in the first leg of the elimination stage of the Champions League.

He started his talk about receiving the match man's award and his contribution to the goals of Diaz and Bellingham: “It was not bad, I managed to play a great match since the first half. Let's do great things with this shirt and take Madrid to the highest level. "

And about the sign in the City stands: "Yes, I saw it, but sometimes the fans of the opposing team do things that give me more power to play a great match. Here I did again and we managed to win."

The Manchester City fans put a big banner in the stands in which Rodri is carrying the golden ball beside the phrase: "Your heart is burned from crying ... stop", referring to Vinicius.

He added, "We have to reach Madrid and make the fans make it a great experience. They know our history and know everything we can do in this competition. This is the fifth time that we come to Manchester to play, we have to continue this way, we have 90 minutes remaining."

And about Mbappe's goal: "The important thing today is winning, regardless of how this happens, this competition has something different, and we hope that we can continue this way."

And: "There are still many remaining matches. The return match will be difficult, but we have to continue this way and defense as we did today against our fans in order to get another magic night."

And about the arbitration: “Sometimes it is very complicated, because the referees sometimes do not defend the players who receive kicks. But sometimes my head thinks only to win any means. "

"No one has spoken to me yet, so we need to talk to the president. I hope that I can stay here for a long time, in my house, I want to make history."
