We are on the eve of the Arsenal-Real Madrid challenge, valid for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. At the press conference, alongside Carlo Ancelotti, Thibaut Courtois was also present, a goalkeeper who knows this competition very well and who wanted to be present at all costs, despite his recent injury.
The Belgian assures that the difficult period is now over: "I'm fine. I had two injuries at the beginning of the season, then I felt good, the latter was a minor problem. In order not to risk it before important matches, I preferred to wait to return. I've been training and now I feel good. The loss to Valencia? The team is the same. We have to continue and change the mentality after a defeat."
On Arsenal and the danger from set pieces: "We've been working on this, we know how to defend against them. We'll try not to concede too many corners. We're prepared to defend well tonight, we hope what we've prepared works. We have a lot of respect for Arsenal."
"I have a lot of friends who are Arsenal fans and I know they are doing very well. They are a young team but with experienced players. They are strong in set pieces, so it is very difficult to play against them. I hope we can hurt them with our game; it will be a big game. It is only a matter of time before they win a trophy."
