Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has given his opinion on the defectors signed by his club this summer.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admits he and his team-mates were disappointed with last season’s campaign. And they can’t wait to erase it.

Courtois expects a lot from Bellingham

Courtois assures that the merengue players are aware that they have to improve and do much better than in the previous exercise. He told TLN TV: “ We want to make up for a bit of last year. I don’t think we had a bad year: At first we won the European Super Cup and started well in the league, but after the World Cup we couldn’t maintain our level. We lost the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona and not in the best way, then we lost many league games. We were suddenly too far behind.”

Asked about the team’s priorities for this 2023/2024 campaign, the Belgian replied: “I think La Liga always sets the tone throughout the season. The Champions League can help you, but that’s different. We are happy with the Copa del Rey victory and the access to the Champions League semi-finals, but obviously not for the 4-0 defeat against Manchester City. This year we will try again to reach the last rounds of the Champions League and win as many trophies as possible”.

Finally, the talented doorman spoke about the recruits that management went to get, including one in particular. “In Madrid, whatever competition you play, you want to win. We’ve had some exciting reinforcements like Bellingham and I think we’re all excited about the new season. After last season, we hope to start well this year. »
