Thibaut Courtois discovered a new teammate this summer. And not just any teammate, since the goalkeeper welcomed Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. Clearly, the two men already get along very well.
Thibaut Courtois has a new formidable opponent to train with at Real Madrid. The Red Devil and his teammates welcomed a certain Kylian Mbappé to the club this summer. The French superstar, who has scored 5 goals in 7 appearances this season with the Spaniards, trains daily with our compatriot.
“Little games”
Clearly, the relationship between the two stars is very good. Interviewed by Canal +, Thibaut Courtois revealed that he had quickly formed a strong bond with the Frenchman. Between humor and seriousness, since the two seek each other out during training, just to challenge each other. “We have little games”admitted the Belgian goalkeeper with a smile. “The other day before the game, it was him against me. He said to me: ‘I’m going to score a goal against you today’. I stopped a shot and I spoke 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.”Courtois explained.
There was, however, a certain rivalry between the two players, who have notably faced each other in the World Cup or the Nations League in recent years. Fortunately, at Real Madrid, everything went well and the duo is already making fans happy. Having scored yesterday against Stuttgart in the Champions League, Mbappé is making an interesting debut. At the same time, Thibaut Courtois is making a series of saves and reminding everyone of his good memories.
Real Madrid couldn’t have dreamed of anything better.
