Madrid must win 'as many trophies as possible', says Courtois

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was delighted to start the season by winning the European Super Cup and assured that they will fight for the seven titles they will play for this season, aware of the difficulty.

"At Real Madrid, you have to win as many trophies as possible and we are favourites in every competition. I don't know if it's possible to win all seven titles, there are a lot of games. We don't know how far we'll go. Hopefully, we can win them all," he told reporters.

Courtois was at the heart of Real Madrid's win over Atalanta with a great save when the final was tied goalless. "I was able to save it and then it changed the game a bit. With the quality up top, we decided.

"We were playing a good game against a very tough opponent with a different style of play. It's nice to see them play, but against them, it's more difficult because they play man to man, mobility was key, we had control of the game against an opponent that usually scores a lot of goals," he added.

The Belgian goalkeeper celebrated his great run. "The two Champions League finals I kept a clean sheet, and now the Super Cup as well. It's fun, I've kept six clean sheets in a row, I'm on a good run and I hope it can continue in La Liga".
