  • WHAT COURTOIS SAID

    Mbappe is joining a squad that already includes match-winners such as Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, with Belgian goalkeeper Courtois telling TUDN of Real’s latest ‘Galactico’: “Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and in the end, it’s better for him to be on your team than against you. He is a player who can make a difference as we have with Bellingham, with Vinicius, and adding Mbappe to that will only help us.”

We just have to find a way to play with him and help him, and I think he’s going to help us win a lot of trophies and I’m sure it’s going to be a great year, he’s going to shine, he’s going to score a lot of goals and help us win trophies.”
