UCL: Courtois blasts Real Madrid team-mates after 2-1 defeat to Arsenal

Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, has hit out at his team-mates after they lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

Los Blancos came into the game on Wednesday night trailing 3-0.

In the 13th minute, Courtois denied Bukayo Saka from the penalty spot, stopping him from extending the Gunners’ lead.

But Saka would eventually give Arsenal the lead in the second half, dinking Mikel Merino’s pass over Courtois.

Vinicius Jr equalized for Real after an error from William Saliba, before Gabriel Martinelli raced clear to fire home the winner in stoppage time.

Speaking after the match, Courtois admitted that Arsenal deserved to win over the two legs

However, the Belgian stopper was angry with the displays of the Real Madrid players.

Courtois said: “At half-time we felt that if we had scored the first goal the tie would have been open, in the end they found the first goal, we tied it quickly, you keep believing but we weren’t successful up front.

“I don’t think (David) Raya had to make a single great save.

“We lost against a superior Arsenal and we have to accept it.

“In the end, they’re a team that defends well, is well organised, presses well, and it’s difficult to find space. We put in a lot of crosses, but this year we don’t have Joselu, a natural striker up front.

“We have to analyse carefully what we can do better. We have a lot of season ahead of us, we have the League on the line, the Cup in ten days, and then the Club World Cup. We thank the fans. Thinking about a comeback was great, and I hope we can bring them some joy this season.”
