Thibaut Courtois gives his full support to Marc-André ter Stegen. Seriously injured in the knee and taken off on a stretcher this weekend against Villareal, the German could suffer a ruptured patellar tendon, which could sideline him for almost eight months. In this ordeal, the Barcelona goalkeeper received a warm message from Thibaut Courtois who also suffered a serious knee injury last year.
“I’m sorry about your injury Marc-André, it hurt me a lot to see you leave the field like that. I hope you can recover quickly and that we’ll see you back in goal soon.”wrote the 32-year-old goalkeeper on his X account. A comforting message from the Belgian international (102 caps), usually so sulphurous, to the man who has nevertheless been his greatest rival for almost 6 years now. A beautiful proof of the immense solidarity that binds the brotherhood of goalkeepers.
