300 is what BeSoccer Pro says is the number of clean sheets in Thibaut Courtois' professional career. The Belgian goalkeeper is living the most glorious period of his sporting life after leaving the ghosts of injuries behind him. As the goalkeeper is getting more and more playing time, he is regaining the level he once reflected and left the football world speechless. Liverpool suffered supreme excellence in the 2022 Champions League final in Paris and Leganes saw him take another step towards perfection.
In fact, at Butarque he surpassed his 100 clean sheets for Real Madrid. That's 101 since he landed at the Spanish club in August 2018 and he made his official match debut on 1st September in the 4-1 thrashing against, precisely, the ‘Pepinero’ club at the Santiago Bernabeu. The first clean sheet as a ‘Merengue’ was achieved on 22nd September in his third match, when he beat Espanyol at home by the minimum (1-0).
76 with Atletico Madrid, 58 with Chelsea, 51 with Belgium and 14 with Genk complete the 300 times he has kept a clean sheet. Within that record, Getafe is his favourite victim. Of the 15 times he has faced the Blues, he has not had to pick the ball out of his net on 13 occasions. 2 more than in his record against Real Betis and 3 more than in his past against Real Valladolid and Athletic Club. Valencia on 9, Granada with 8 and 7 against Osasuna, Espanyol and Real Sociedad.
Reviewing his memory at Stamford Bridge, where he won the Premier League, he got the hang of Manchester United. On up to 6 occasions he kept the Red Devils at bay. A small detail and a big figure that confirms the importance of Thibaut Courtois in the current scene. Andriy Lunin was up to the task in his absence, but Real Madrid's goalkeeping has a name and a surname. Those who will be hoping to respond to the circumstances at Anfield in the battle that lies ahead for Carlo Ancelotti's side in the Champions League.
