Thibaut Courtois revelled in making the difference as his fine goalkeeping performance guided Real Madrid to aChampions League final victory over Liverpool on Saturday.Madrid had their backs to the wall from the offset at the Stade de France asLiverpool attempted as many shots on target in the first half (five) as they did in their previous two Champions League finals combined (twoin 2018 andthreein 2019).That first-half display included two fine Courtois stops against a close-range Mohamed Dylan Bundy Jersey Salah effort and Sadio Mane drive, but the Belgium international saved his best for after the interval.Courtois expertly denied Salah three times in the second half, the last of which was particularly impre sive as he dived to his right to tip away, with Vinicius Junior nudging Madrid ahead at the other end.The rearguard of Madrid held firm to secure a 1-0 win and record-extending 14th Champions League titleas Courtois ended with a record ninesaves in the final of the competition, since Opta began recording data in Justin Bour Jersey 2003-04.Courtois has led the way among goalkeepers in the competition this season, making the most saves (59) and boasting the highest save percentage of goalkeepers to make five stops or more (80.56).The 30-year-old, speaking after the game, reflected on a productive outing on both a personal and team level. I said yesterday in my pre s conference when Martin Maldonado Jersey Madrid plays finals they win it, he told BT Sport.And Im on the good side of history, I saw a lot of tweets coming my way that I will get humbled today and it was the other way round.I needed to win a final for my career, for all the hard work, to put respect on my name I dont think I have enough, especially in England.I saw a lot of criticism even after a great season that I was not good enough. Im really happy and proud at the performance of the team, we stuck to it and when I needed to be there I was there for the J. C. Ramirez Jersey team.We beat the best clubs in the world, together with us, you see the year City and Liverpool had, unbelievable seasons, they foughttill the end in the Premier League.Liverpool won two cups, today they were really strong, I think I played a great game and that was the difference we had one chance andwe scored it. Aside from a dominant personal performance, Courtois believes Madrid have shown they are the best side in Europe.So many years, so much work, coming to the club of my life, yesterday I already said that Madrid wins and it is like that, he told Movistar.Many from Liverpool and other people criticising me but we have shown who is the king of Europe.Ive feltvery good this year, Ive managed the last few weeks well, and once you make the first stop then youre focused, and I took chances from Maneand Salah.Nobody could take away my Andrew Heaney Jersey desire to win a Champions League. For my loved ones who have pa sed, I was going to win a Champions League.As for his best save, Courtois added: Especially Salahs, I looked for it from distance, and I knew where the ball was going. Its crazy, I dont believe it.The referee added five minutes without anything happening, but hey, we held on.
