The 29-year-old admits that one-on-ones with the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper are very tough as the Belgian makes himself big and it’s a challenge for any striker to beat the 21-year-old from that situation.
“He is very impressive. When you get to him, you feel that there is more room in cages. It's really impressive.”
Courtois has made 31 appearances for Atletico Madrid in La Liga this season and has 17 clean sheets to his name.
