Courtois Confident Mbappe Will Succeed at Real Madrid After Scoring Against Getafe
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has expressed confidence in Kylian Mbappe’s ability to shine at Santiago Bernabeu.
The French forward, who joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024, has faced challenges in meeting the high expectations set for him since his arrival.
Mbappe’s struggles, however, took a promising turn on Sunday, December 1, when he found the back of the net during Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory against Getafe in La Liga.
The 25-year-old scored in the 38th minute, delivering a much-needed goal for the reigning champions.
Later, Jude Bellingham converted a penalty to seal the win, further solidifying Real Madrid’s position in the league standings.
Speaking about Mbappe’s performance and potential, Courtois used a vivid metaphor to describe the forward’s journey.
Kylian Mbappe is a player with great quality. It’s like a bottle with liquid inside that seems stuck, but when it flows, it all comes out.
That’s what’s going to happen to him, said the Belgian goalkeeper, emphasizing his belief that Mbappe’s talent will soon be fully unleashed.
Mbappe’s move to Madrid was one of the most talked-about transfers in recent years.
The Spanish club had been pursuing him relentlessly, previously failing to secure his signature on two occasions despite intense negotiations.
PSG fought hard to keep their star player, but the Frenchman ultimately made his highly anticipated move to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2024.
Renowned for his blistering pace, clinical finishing, and unmatched flair, Mbappe was expected to hit the ground running upon joining Real Madrid.
While his start has been slower than anticipated, his goal against Getafe signals that he may be finding his rhythm.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
