Courtois’ move to Real Madrid ‘hurt’ ex-teammate

Author: Web Desk

Former Atletico Madrid captain and former teammate of Thibaut Courtois, Gabi Hernandez, on Tuesday said that he has been ‘hurt’ by the former Atletico shotstopper’s decision to join arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Gabi, who now plays for Al Sadd, said: “It hurts. He has played with you, won trophies, it’s a strange one. That’s it, more than it hurts, it’s strange.”

Earlier this week, Courtois signed for Atletico’s rivals Real Madrid from Chelsea for £35 million. The goal-keeper had said that he has always been a fan of Madrid as a child and that the move is a ‘dream come true’.

It is obvious that Atleti fans are disappointed over the move as it is considered ‘criminal’ to play for a rival club when the stakes are so high.
