Thibaut Courtois: Goalkeepers are overlooked for Ballon d'Or award. Anthony Hay 9.

.

Thibaut Courtois isn't simply the world's No. In fact, his imperious form is such that he's easily among the top three or four footballers -- any position, any club. Were the Ballon d'Or Award moved to this week instead of December, Courtois would be mighty close to becoming the first keeper to win it since the legendary Lev Yashin in And, hypothetically, were Courtois to be the key to Real Madrid somehow knocking Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League on Wednesday, after Los Blancos played excruciatingly badly in the first-leg defeat, he'd be a shoo-in to succeed Yashin 58 years later. Just picture the scene: the big Belgian who gave up the sport -- he was sick of it, aged 11, only to change his mind and abandon a potential volleyball career -- is about to become the only Real Madrid keeper ever, in all likelihood to face a Lionel Messi - Kylian Mbappe - Neymar trident at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Courtois fantasy

Real Madrid had just won the Champions League , and amid all the celebrations at the Stade de France, Thibaut Courtois had something he wanted to get off his chest. The euphoria of the moments following a Champions League final win might seem a strange moment to be thinking of past criticism, but Courtois saw the highest-profile opportunity possible to settle some scores. And he was not going to miss his chance. Especially in England. It seems quite remarkable, but British football magazine FourFourTwo omitted him in a feature listing their top 10 goalkeepers in the world just two months ago. Often players will shrug off such rankings by journalists or fans, or claim to not even notice, but Courtois felt he had to respond.
