Thibaut Courtois warns Real Madrid teammates ahead of Chelsea clash

The Whites returned to winning ways on Saturday by defeating Celta de Vigo in La Liga by two penalties, and still managed to lose another.

It was a controversial win, but a win nonetheless, and Los Blancos will be back in good spirits ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois has warned his teammates that they are the ones who need to improve before taking on Thomas Tuchel's men, who will now want a big answer throughout the week.

“Winning is very important,” Courtois told Movistar after Saturday's victory. Chelsea lost at home and will be very strong on Wednesday.

Chelsea are the defending Champions League champions and while things have not been planned for them in the Premier League this season, they remain dangerous opponents in Europe.
