Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois delighted with clean sheet at Liverpool | OneFootball

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was delighted with his clean sheet for their 0-0 draw at Champions League opponents Liverpool.

Real Madrid are now into the final four 3-1 on aggregate.

Courtois declared afterwards, "We came into today off the back of two really difficult games and maybe we just lacked the legs in attack but defensively we ran as if we had twelve men on the pitch. It was unbelievable. Everyone has to put that effort in when we're taken to the limit. We had to dig in and give it our all and that's what we did. That's crucial for the team's desire and in order to show we're a unit.

“I made two good saves in the first half. One from Salah that was difficult at my feet and could always slip through my legs. It was a good stop right at the start. Then I pulled one out of the top corner from Milner. That seemed to knock them off their stride a bit and in the end they didn't score any, it became more difficult for them. Right at the start of the second half then I had to make another save. If that one goes in, they'd have had the whole second half to get another. We defended well, Militão made two fantastic blocks as well. I'm pleased with our defensive efforts."

Courtois admits he's delighted with his form this season.

He also said, “I feel great, as I say, we work very hard. I want to win many titles with Real Madrid, that's the best there is and it's why I give it my all in every match. I don't know whether or not I'm the best, there are lots of good goalkeepers, all playing at the top level and I believe I am one of them. I'm very happy to be leaving here having kept a clean sheet. I'm looking forward now because we've got a big week coming up with three games in six days and then it's the semi-final."
