Thibaut Courtois Says He's 'One of the Best' Amid Criticism from Spanish Media

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has said he still considers himself to be one of the world's best in his position despite his recent struggles.

Courtois made the switch to Los Blancos from Chelsea before the current campaign, although he's endured a difficult first season at the Santiago Bernabeu. On Thursday, he made a major mistake for Belgium too, losing the ball to Denis Cheryshev and costing his side a goal in the 3-1 win.

Speaking after that error, Courtois said he still has self-belief despite the criticism he's received from some sections of the Spanish media, per AS.
