Atlético Madrid targeted Thibaut Courtois. The club of the former Belgian international player demands an apology from the Real Madrid player and threatens that if he refuses, he will start erasing the Belgian from the pages of his history.
Thibaut Courtois is a key figure in Real Madrid. The Belgian moved to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2018, and was previously linked to Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.
The second team honored the goalkeeper with a special plaque placed in front of the stadium. It was a thank you for three years of playing and winning La Liga and the Europa League.
Recently, however, Atlético’s chiefs have begun to consider removing the commemorative plaque. It’s all for the player’s attitude.
– When you play against Real Madrid, you know they always win the final. I am now on the good side of history – said the Belgian regarding last year’s Champions League final, referring to Atlético’s failed adventure in the 2013-14 season.
These statements did not please the representatives of “Los Colchoneros” – as reported by the newspaper “Diario AS” – they began to demand an official apology. A message was sent asking the 30-year-old to change his behavior and to inform him of the possible consequences.
According to journalist Jose Luis Sanchez, the Real Madrid player completely ignored the news. The goalkeeper does not want to discuss this with his former employer and does not intend to apologize.
