Thibaut Courtois tipped his hat to his Liverpool friends
An action by Liverpool fans during the game against Real Madrid caused Thibaut Courtois to tip his hat to them.
Tuesday night 21st February was a tough day for Liverpool as they conceded five goals against Real Madrid at Anfield. Despite this, the club’s crowd gave their full support to Jurgen Klopp’s players and didn’t even hesitate to applaud Luka Modric and Karim Benzema for their excellent performances.
The latter was the crucial point for the apotheosis of Thibaut Courtois in the world of the “Reds”.
Impressed by the attitude of the Liverpool fans, the Real Madrid goalkeeper explained after the game: “This is the first time I’ve played at Anfield with people in the stands. The fact that Liverpool fans applauded Luka (Modric) and Karim (Benzema) just goes to show that people come here to enjoy great players“.
