Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois appeared in press statements after the 1-0 victory over Juventus in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

Courtois said about reaching 300 matches with Real Madrid: "I am very happy with the win. It was very difficult. We had chances from both sides. We performed excellently. An important win against another big team. Then we will play against Liverpool in the next round at Anfield. Let's keep going."

He added: "They are Juventus, and when they defend intensely and want to counter-attack... we need to increase our pace, move more from side to side, and open the wings. They hurt us when they play on the counter-attacks, and we need to think about that."

Regarding the save from Vlahovic's chance: "The coach wants me to play intensely. The ball that comes this way... it looked like Militao would be able to clear it... Vlahovic is a great striker, and I am happy with the save."

On Bellingham's goal: "This is what I like about this type of player. Vinicius executes the attacks, and he is alert. He is regaining his best form. Happy with the win."

He concluded about the Clasico: "Both teams are in good shape. It will be a great match, after we lost many matches last year. Winning is important. It will be a wonderful match. I hope we win. I respect them and hope we prepare well."
