This Saturday, José Mourinho previewed the championship game in Tondela, but also recalled Wednesday’s Benfica-Real Madrid (4-2), in the UEFA Champions League, to praise the team’s goalkeeper’s moment. meringues at the end of the match.
«To end the game we played and this week, there is one thing I wanted to say, because I didn’t realize it at the end of the game — what Courtois does to Trubin is out of this world. I think that in the galas they hold at the end of the seasons, at UEFA, FIFA, that sort of thing, I think the fair play award has already been given. What he does… I would venture to say that within the sadness of defeat he found a few seconds to be happy for his colleague, who did something out of this world. That reaction from Courtois, in the space of some time when we were only thinking about ourselves, it seemed like we were completely isolated from the world, I didn’t notice… it doesn’t surprise me, he was my player, he’s the best goalkeeper in the world and he showed it with this attitude… For me it also goes down in the history of this Champions League. He remains, whatever happens in the history of this Champions League, as a great player in this Champions League because what he did with Trubin was incredible”, said the coach, on BTV.
Courtois, at the end of the game and moments after Trubin headed the goal that earned Benfica European qualification, went to hug his colleague. She smiled and celebrated the moment of glory with him a little.
