‘Courtois world’s best & will shatter records at Real Madrid’ – Belgium boss talks up Blancos keeper

The former Chelsea custodian endured a tough start to his time at Santiago Bernabeu, but is now considered to sit at the top of the global game

Thibaut Courtois is, according to Belgium boss Roberto Martinez, the best goalkeeper in the world and a man destined to “break all records” at Real Madrid.

The 27-year-old endured a testing start to life at Santiago Bernabeu after returning to Spain from Chelsea in the summer transfer window of 2018.

Having previously starred in La Liga during a multi-year loan stint at Atletico Madrid, Real were considered to have acquired one of the most reliable custodians in the game.
