VIDEO. A great save and celebrated by the entire staff: Thibaut Courtois makes a successful return to Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois is back. The Belgian goalkeeper made his return on Saturday in the home match against Cádiz after months of injury due to two knee injuries. A clean sheet and 3-0 win: Courtois’ return went perfectly and that provided beautiful images. After Barça’s defeat at Girona later in the evening, Real is certain of its 36th national title.

Trainer Carlo Ancelotti had promised and kept his word: Courtois made his first playing minutes of the season against Cádiz. After tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and sustaining a tear in the meniscus in his right knee during rehabilitation, he was sidelined for months, but our compatriot is back completely ready to compete.

Courtois was able to keep his net clean against Cádiz – at 0-0 he made a good save from a broken Christopher Ramos, which was greeted with loud cheers from the home fans. In the second half, Courtois saw how Brahim Díaz gave the Royals the lead in the 51st minute. Jude Bellingham (68th minute) and Joselu (93rd minute) added to the score. Courtois can look back on a successful comeback, something that will undoubtedly be very rewarding after the double setback of recent months. Afterwards, our compatriot was celebrated by the entire Madrid staff. Later in the evening there was another reason for celebration, as Barça’s defeat at Girona ensured Real of its 36th national title.
