Real Madrid have been crowned La Liga champions for the 35th time in the first four rounds of the season. After winning the championship, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois did not forget revenge and pointed the finger at Barcelona.
The Belgian goalkeeper reminded Barcelona of their celebrations at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium after their victory in the Spanish derby. In that match, Barca unexpectedly beat Real Madrid 4-0.
Courtois said: "After the Spanish derby is the key. Some people celebrate as if they had won the championship and they came back. But we stayed calm, beat Celta and drew with Getafe in a difficult match, which was always difficult for us. "
Courtois believes that Real Madrid's la Liga victory is not something that any one person deserves more than anyone else. Although there is a theory that he was juxtaposed with Benzema as one of the most important.
"It's the job of the whole team," Courtois said modestly, "and we're all attacking and defending." The game against Sevilla was key, coming back 2-0 behind and when everyone thought we were dead, the reversal left our opponents dead. "
Commenting on Saturday's match against Espanyol, Courtois said: "We had to finish it today, everything was ready and also for our friends, family and fans. We know we can't fall. The Spaniard gave us a very tough game at the start, but we were calm and after the first goal everything became easy. "
Next Tuesday Real Madrid will take on favourites Manchester City at home in the second leg of the Champions League, who also won the same 4-0 victory in yesterday's Premier League match to continue to lead the Premier League. The two high-morale teams meet in a narrow road and are expected to stage another brilliant performance in the first leg.
