After defeating Liverpool in the Champions League final, Thibaut Courtois debuted a new tattoo in honor of the occasion.

A record-breaking nine saves from players like Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Thiago Alcantara were made by Belgium international Courtois for Los Blancos, who won the European Championship for a record 14th time.
The tattoo has the letters ‘TC1’ with the Champions League trophy protecting a brick wall. She respectfully responded after he had honored tattoo artist Larissa in his post: “For the ONE and only Champ! I appreciate you allowing me to place this lovely memo.
In an emotional post-game interview with BT Sport, the former Chelsea goalkeeper urged supporters to “place some respect” on his name in addition to gaining attention for his outstanding performance during the game.
Real Madrid always wins when they compete in the Champions League Final, I said at the news conference yesterday. “I’m on the right side of history,” said Courtois.
It turned out to be the opposite of what was predicted in the tweets that I saw coming my way, which suggested I would be humbled today. To put respect on my name and further my career, I needed to win today’s final.
I don’t believe I have enough respect, particularly in England. Even after a fantastic season, I had a lot of criticism that I wasn’t good enough or anything similar. I’m just really pleased and proud of the team’s success. We kept to our plan, and I supported the team when necessary.
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, praised Courtois for his fantastic performance and said that whenever the winning club’s goalkeeper wins the Man of the Match award, “something is going wrong for the opposing team.”
Klopp said, “I believe we had three really good opportunities where Courtois made outstanding saves. I hoped I could get in contact with more folks of this level.
His manager Carlo Ancelotti struggled to adequately describe the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper’s achievements but nonetheless expressed his gratitude: “Wow. Unbelievable, “said the Italian.
Join the discussion! Is Courtois the world’s best goalkeeper? Let us know in the comment section.
I find it hard to believe. Dani Carvajal, a real right-back, continued, “He made three or four saves to win it for us.”
Florentino Perez, president of Los Blancos, who acquired him from Chelsea for £35 million in 2018, continued: “His season has been amazing.
Tonight’s saves were outstanding, but don’t overlook the one he made with his foot against Manchester City in extra time. He is the greatest there is.”
