DBasia.news – Thibaut Courtois’ power was unable to be used by Real Madrid when they visited Elche’s headquarters in the continuation of the Spanish LaLiga. The match was played at the Manuel Martinez Valero Stadium.
Courtois was unable to play due to injury. The 30-year-old goalkeeper has so far gone through five Real Madrid matches.
The role left by Courtois will be occupied by Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian player showed a mediocre performance in guarding the Los Blancos goal.
“Thibaut is not here tomorrow. He’s training normally, he’s doing a job, he’s doing a good job,” said Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Victory is the target that is set by Real Madrid in this match. An additional three points will take the reigning Champions League champion away from Barcelona’s pursuit.
A positive capital brought Real Madrid to challenge Elche. The club based at the Bernabeu Stadium beat Barcelona in El Clasico with a score of 3-1.
Real Madrid are currently ranked first in the standings. Karim Benzema and his team are three points ahead of Barcelona, who are below him with 22 points.
Courtois has just been named the best goalkeeper in the 2022 Yashin Trophy. He beat Alisson Becker (Liverpool) and Ederson (Manchester City).
