The debut of Thibaut Courtois with Real Madrid are more than difficult, even if it is the whole team that skates at the beginning of the season.
The reigning European champions, Zidane's orphans but especially Ronaldo at the beginning of the 2018-2019 financial year, are currently sixth in the league, with only 6 wins, 20 goals scored against 19 conceded. The heavy 3-0 defeat this weekend in Eibar is not going to fix the business of the Merengues.
According to an article in the RTBF, Thibaut Courtois played 12 games with Real, for 18 goals conceded, not counting the 6 taken with the Devils in 5 games (4 Nations League and a friendly match in Scotland). Our goalkeeper conceded a goal every 60 minutes. The former doorman of Genk has never been so much to look for the ball at the bottom of his cages.
But the former goalkeeper of Atletico and Chelsea is not especially helped by his defense. Besides, he does not make much of a mistake. Real Madrid, still under construction since the formalization of Solari on the bench, after the dismissal of Lopetegui, suffered 13 shots per game, according to Het Laatste Nieuws. Huge for a club of this standing.
The rub also at the offensive level. With a goal difference of (only) + 1 and 20 goals scored, Real had a total as low as in 1930, 1942 and 1947 after 13 days.
The RTBF details the stats of the national goalkeeper: his best year remains the 2013-2014 season when he played for Atletico Madrid, with whom he won the title and reached the final of the Champions League. He scored only one goal every 126 minutes.
In 2010-2011, he took a goal every 84 minutes, in 2011-2012, 1 goal every 92 minutes, the year after 1 goal every 119 minutes, in 2014-2015, 1 goal every 100 minutes , in 2015-2016, 1 goal every 69 minutes, in 2016-2017, 1 goal every 109 minutes, in 2017-2018, 1 goal every 80 minutes.
Real Madrid are on Tuesday night at Roma for the fifth day of the group stage of the Champions League.
