Champions League semi-final saw Real's goalkeeper succumb to an injury while in action
In a disappointing turn of events, Real Madrid suffered a 0:4 defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final match, with the English side progressing to the final. The loss was a significant blow for the Spanish giants, who had high hopes of defending their title.
Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid's first-choice goalkeeper, played the match despite a torn triceps injury, an injury he sustained in a recent Spanish league match against Getafe. The injury caused discomfort throughout the match, but Courtois made several outstanding saves, showcasing his determination and resilience.
In the current season, Courtois has played in 45 matches for Real Madrid, across various tournaments. However, the injury has taken its toll, with the goalkeeper conceding 45 goals, four of which came from Manchester City's eight shots on target. Four out of those four goals were converted by City, highlighting the impact the injury had on Courtois' performance.
Despite the setback, Courtois has kept a clean sheet in 17 games this season, demonstrating his ability to perform at the highest level even under challenging circumstances. As the season draws to a close, there are suggestions that Courtois may take an early vacation due to the lack of significant tournament goals for Real Madrid in the remaining weeks of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Andriy Lunin is expected to play the final matches of La Liga for Real Madrid. The young goalkeeper has been impressive in his appearances this season and could be given a chance to shine as Real Madrid look to finish the domestic season on a high note.
