The rivalry between Real Madrid and Atlético is already marked, but the derby last Wednesday, in the round of 16 return from the Champions League, has a little more widely widened the gap between the two clubs from the Spanish capital. On the side of the Colchoneros, one still does not seem to have digested the case of the penalty of Julián Álvarez, which caused a lively controversy on the other side of the Pyrenees. After the Rojiblancos had grown largely about this decisive game, Thibaut Courtois had publicly declared that his former stable should stop complaining. And with the current 3rd of Liga, it does not pass.
During an interview at ASwhose subject was the elimination in the Champions League, Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético de Madrid, was questioned about Courtois' words. And the boss of the residents of the Metropolitano should not appreciate seeing his former porter behaving like this: ” Courtois should be grateful to Atlético de Madrid for the four years spent here, the titles won, and he should be silent. We are respectable people. Courteous must be silent and stay quiet. He is a big goalkeeper, we all recognize him. He must continue to behave as he did at Atlético: in a gentleman. The tension may have time to descend by the next opposition between the two Madrid clubs, which will no longer have the opportunity to compete this season.
