All the talk in the build-up to tonight’s UEFA Super Cup centered around Kylian Mbappé, but it was Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois who has had the standout moment of the game so far.
The Belgian keeper, who missed almost all of last season with a serious knee injury but did return for the Champions League final, showed he is back to his absolute best with a truly stunning save early into the second half to deny Atalanta and keep the game scoreless.
Pictures might not even do it justice!
Fede Valverde grabbed the opener for Real just before the hour, but the Champions League holders will have Courtois to thank if they lift the trophy in a short while.
