Courtois explains his saves in Anfield defeat

Real Madrid suffered a narrow defeat when they visited Liverpool at Anfield on matchday 4 of the Champions League, a defeat that could have been much heavier and more embarrassing had it not been for an incredible Thibaut Courtois, who made eight saves.

The Belgian goalkeeper, who denied the Reds several times just as he did in the 2022 Champions League final, explained his incredible save from Szoboszlai and explained what they lacked during the match.

You have to occupy space. Szoboszlai was on his own, and if I stayed on the goal line it would have been almost like a penalty, it would be impossible to stop. I wanted to go for the cross, but it would have been too dangerous. I'm two metres tall, I have long arms, It wasn't exactly a save from the goalkeeper's manual, but it worked," he told 'Movistar'.
