During the pre match press conference ahead of the La Liga clash with Elche, Álvaro Arbeloa was asked about the impressive performance of Thibaut Courtois against Manchester City in the Champions League.

The Real Madrid coach praised the Belgian goalkeeper and addressed the long standing debate comparing him with club legend Iker Casillas.

Arbeloa did not hesitate when giving his opinion on the matter. The former Madrid defender made it clear that, in his view, Courtois deserves to be considered the greatest goalkeeper in the club’s history.

The coach highlighted the consistency and decisive performances Courtois has delivered in key matches, pointing to his influence in major European nights as proof of his importance to the team.

Arbeloa’s statement quickly reignited the debate among fans, as Casillas remains one of the most iconic figures in Real Madrid history. Still, the coach’s comments underline the enormous impact Courtois has had since arriving at the club and his role as one of the pillars of the current squad.
