Courtois aware of competition from Areola

"Not literally, also, what is spoken about in the dressing room stays there, with Areola or not, in a club like Madrid you compete for each position. The goalkeeping coach that was at Chelsea for two years is the same one that is now in Paris and we have talked about him because he is a funny character," Courtois stated.

"With Areola very well, it is normal for a team like Madrid to compete in all positions, even in goal, and that is normal because everyone wants to play and then the coach decides who plays," he said.

Courtois also pondered about the official debut of his team-mate Eden Hazard "The detail that Edden made as soon as he entered the field was very good. He is a player that can spread calm around the team and take on two or three players. He wants to keep going forward and do well," he said.

The Belgian also spoke about his important stop to deny Rubén Vezo, which could have led Leavnte equalising. "Yes, I think that you have to do this as a goalkeeper, although you have already conceded two that you could hardly do anything about, but you know that you can help save the team at the last minute and you have to," he said.

The goalkeeper also said that, despite Real Madrid conceding many goals, he is not worried about the loss of Captain Sergio Ramos for the match against Paris Saint-Germain.

"No, not at all. He 100% trusts his teammates and this has been seen in training and in Salzburg, where Militao and Varane have already played. You always have to trust your teammates and I think we will get a good result," he said .

He also spoke about the meeting against the French club, where he will face his former teammate, the Costa Rican Keylor Navas. "It is more morbid for the press than for us. I never had problems with him, we have always competed in training and in matches and then it is the coach who decides. We have always got on well," he said.

Courtois did not comment if Real Madrid needed more signings after the large number of injuries suffered by the team. "I am not the one to say that signings are made, that is a matter of the coach and the president. You can never know about injuries, sometimes it is bad luck. We have a group of 25 players and we will continue to move forward," said.
