Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists he is ready to be a penalty TAKER if there is a shootout with Liverpool in the Champions league final, insisting 'I don't fear it – it is a moment to shine'

Thibaut Courtois is ready to take a penalty in between thwarting Liverpool in the Champions League final – and the Real Madrid saviour insists he would not fear a shootout against the Reds.

Courtois has been the busiest goalkeeper in the Champions League this season, repeatedly rescuing the LaLiga winners during an extraordinary run of late wins in knockout ties.

The Belgium international has made 52 saves along the way – 37 more than Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been forced into during his side's relatively straightforward path to the final.
