The Belgian reached 300 appearances for the Spanish club and praised the squad's performance against elite opposition. He noted the Italian side's defensive discipline and counterattacking threat posed challenges that required better ball movement and wider play. Courtois highlighted a key save against striker Dusan Vlahovic and credited Jude Bellingham for his alertness in scoring the decisive goal. The keeper expressed satisfaction with Vinicius Junior's improving form and execution in attack. He looked ahead to the upcoming El Clásico match, acknowledging both teams enter in strong shape after Madrid lost several encounters last season. [/QUOTE]
