Football/Champions League: Hopes high for Thibault courtois’ return, a crucial boost for Real Madrid

Real Madrid receives a boost of optimism ahead of the Champions League semi-final return against Bayern Munich. The prospect of Thibault Courtois returning to the Madrid squad for the end of the season is sparking hope.

After suffering a cruciate ligament injury this summer, his recovery was delayed by a meniscus relapse in March. The Belgian international could reclaim his position in goal as early as this weekend’s match against Cadiz for the 34th round. Carlo Ancelotti is seriously considering including him in the upcoming big games.

Carlo Ancelotti expressed optimism about the imminent return of his first-choice goalkeeper, stating: « We are extremely happy to see him back ». If his return is successful, Courtois should logically retain his place for the Champions League semi-final return against Bayern Munich, despite Lunin’s solid performances.

Real Madrid, comfortably leading the league with an eleven-point advantage over FC Barcelona, could be crowned champions if their Catalan rivals lose or draw in the derby against Girona.

Thibaut Courtois played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s conquest of the fourteenth Champions League title in 2022, solidifying his reputation among the world’s best goalkeepers. His potential return would provide additional assurance to the team as they aim to reach new heights on both the European and national stage.
