Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed he received lots of compliments after Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final in May.

Thibaut Courtois was at his best as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League final.

Courtois: “I received a lot of compliments especially after the final against Liverpool. It made me very happy.

“I am excited for the next season, this team always gives its best, winning the Champions League with Real Madrid is a great honour, dreams come true.”

Thibaut Courtois also insisted Real Madrid are hungry to win more trophies starting with the UEFA Super Cup.

He added: “The team is very hungry for more and everything starts soon with the Super Cup game.”

Meanwhile, Premier League side Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Real Madrid star Marco Asensio.

The 26-year-old only has one year left on his contract at the Bernabeu and there has been no progress on him signing a new agreement.

Despite scoring 10 goals in 31 appearances for Real Madrid, Asensio isn’t considered to be a key player by Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Asensio wants to leave Real Madrid this summer for a club that will guarantee him regular playing time in the starting XI.

According to media outlet AS, Newcastle United want Asensio to be the main player of their new project.

Real Madrid reportedly want just £25million for Asensio, a figure which has alerted plenty of possible suitors including Newcastle United.

Newcastle will likely be offering absolutely enormous wages to the Spain international, but won’t be able to offer Europa League football like Arsenal or Champions League football like AC Milan.
