Since the 1982 World Cup qualifiers, Belgium has not beaten France in a competitive match. Hence the Red Devils’ frustration after each defeat against Les Bleus in recent years. Kylian Mbappé’s teammate at Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois has the opportunity to take a little revenge in this Franco-Belgian duel during training sessions.
There is a huge rivalry between the France and the Belgium. However, the Red Devils don’t really measure up to the Blues in recent years. Indeed, the Belgium did not win a single competitive match against the team of France since September 9, 1981. On that date, the Tricolors had lost 2-0 in the qualifiers for the 1982 World Cup.
XXL duel between Mbappé and Courtois at Real
If the Belgium is powerless against the France for more than forty years, Thibaut Courtois has found a way to take a little revenge. Indeed, the 32-year-old goalkeeper enjoys tormenting Kylian Mbappé during the training sessions of real Madrid.
“We tease each other a little”
” Kylian Mbappe? We have little games. The other day before the match, it was him against me. He said to me: “I’m going to score a goal today”. I stopped a shot and I talk to him. Afterwards, he hit the post and said to me: “you’re so lucky”. I stopped a penalty, sometimes he scores a goal. We tease each other a little. It’s always nice to measure yourself against a player of this quality. It pushes me to do better and him too.”confided Thibaut Courtois, at the microphone of Canal + this Tuesday evening.
