Courtios Defends Toothless Real Madrid After Sociedad Stalemate

Courtios Defends Toothless Real Madrid After Sociedad Stalemate

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtios has defended his team-mates’ indecisiveness in front of goal in a 0-0 game against Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena on Sunday.

The La Liga champions returned to action for the first time this season as they seek to defend their crown, but failed to break the deadlock in a game that had combined 22 shots in total with only five on target.

Karim Benzema passed up the best chance of the game as Los Blancos drew in their opening league fixture for the sixth time in their history and the first time since 2015 under Rafael Benitez.

“Of course we’ve got goals. You see it in training, you see it in the last pre-season friendly we had against Getafe [a 6-0 win],” Courtois told Movistar when asked if Zinedine Zidane’s men have what it takes to be potent in front of goal.

Courtios made a match-winning save to deny Alexander Isak in the first half of the game.

The Belgium keeper added: “If we don’t concede too many goals and we can order ourselves and be difficult to score against, we have at the other end of the pitch Karim Benzema, who always plays at a very high level but didn’t have any luck tonight.”

Real Madrid go to Real Betis, who have six points from two games, on Saturday for their next league match.
