Wednesday 21-01-2026
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois expressed his happiness after the 6-1 victory over Monaco in the seventh round of the Champions League group stage at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

The Belgian goalkeeper said in his interview: "It was a good match, full of enthusiasm. We moved a lot and created chances... The second goal came quickly after the first, but we controlled the game well. They had some opportunities, but we defended well. It's unfortunate that we couldn't keep a clean sheet. I hope the Bernabéu crowd enjoyed it; this is the right way forward."

Regarding regaining the ball in the opponent's half: "This is what we strive for, pressing after losing possession. This is what the coach wants. We have to stay close to them so they can't break away. That's how goals are scored. This is the right way. We have a tough match on Saturday, and we must show the same quality and win."

He concluded about reconciling with the fans: "In the end, it's difficult. Disagreement is natural and understandable; we know we have made mistakes. We want to win, and we have to do it together."
