Real Madrid’s title hopes have been dealt a major blow with the recent performance of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian international has been a major disappointment since joining the club from Chelsea in 2018, and his recent form has left Los Blancos with little hope of winning the La Liga title this season.
Courtois has been a liability in goal for Real Madrid, conceding a number of costly goals that have cost them points in the league. He has also failed to provide the leadership and stability that is expected from a top-class goalkeeper, and his poor decision-making has been a major factor in the team’s struggles this season.
The former Chelsea man has also been guilty of making costly errors, such as his mistake against Levante in December which resulted in a goal for the opposition. This error was compounded by Courtois’ failure to save a penalty against Barcelona in February, which effectively ended Real Madrid’s title hopes.
Real Madrid have now fallen behind rivals Barcelona in the La Liga table, and it is difficult to see them catching up with the Catalan side. Courtois’ poor form has been a major factor in their struggles, and it is clear that he is not the answer to their goalkeeping woes.
Real Madrid need to find a new goalkeeper if they are to have any chance of winning the La Liga title this season. Courtois’ performance has left little hope for Los Blancos, and they must now look elsewhere if they are to have any chance of success.
