Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 at the Camp Nou after two consecutive defeats at the hands of Cádiz and Shakhtar Donetsk, and Thibaut Courtois stressed that he and his teammates must do their best regardless of who they play against. The Belgian made another solid performance, making great saves to help Real Madrid secure three points at Camp Nou and widen the gap between the two clubs in LaLiga Santander to six points.
“This shirt and this badge deserve to be fought for and valued in every game,” Courtois said after the game against Barcelona. “Today we did it because we came from two difficult and bad games. Today we really wanted and ran a lot.” It was not an easy week. In the game against Cádiz we did not start well and it was difficult. We didn’t do our best. “And against Shakhtar we were good until we conceded the goals. Then, in the second half, we put our will and courage. Today we played a good game.”
Fede Valverde gave Real Madrid the advantage, but after Ansu Fati’s draw, the Whites managed to react and Ramos gave them the advantage back in the second half. Courtois noted that the team should be happy with the result, but focus on the next Champions League game against Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday. “We made a goal, which was what we wanted,” added Courtois. “Then they matched, with [Jordi] Alba’s strength and wide races.
“The game was even; I made a good save and Net [did] too. There were great occasions in the second half. We scored the penalty and then we were able to score the third before, but Neto made some good saves. “This victory fills us with confidence after two games in which people could doubt us. The key when things go a little bad is to be together.” Now we don’t have to be very excited. We have to be happy but think about Tuesday [game against Borussia Monchengladbach]. “
