Liverpool fans are all saying same thing about Thibaut Courtois after shock Belgium result

Liverpool fans have all been saying the same thing online about Thibaut Courtois after his mistake for Belgium against Morocco in the World Cup.

Belgium's quest for World Cup glory hit a new low as Morocco claimed a memorable 2-0 victory over Roberto Martinez's side on Sunday afternoon. Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal were both on the scoresheet in the second-half for Walid Regragui’s side.

And following the game, it was Courtois who came in for criticism for his display. The Real Madrid man certainly should have done better for Morocco’s opener.

The performance of Courtois was a far cry from the one he produced for Real Madrid in their Champions League final win over Liverpool back in June. Vinicius Junior scored the only goal of the game in Paris, but Courtois was the match winner.

And Liverpool supporters watching the action unfold on Sunday afternoon were quick to take to Twitter to air their frustration.

Speaking after Real’s win at the Stade de France, Courtois was delighted to prove a point to his critics in England.

He said: “I said to my friends yesterday that when Real Madrid play finals they win it. I am on the good side of history.

“Today I needed to win a final for my career, for all the hard work to put respect on my name because I don’t think I have enough respect, especially in England.”

Before he added: “I saw a lot of criticism even after a great season, that I was not good enough or whatever.

“I am just really happy and proud of the performance of the team. We stuck to it and when I needed to be there, I was there for the team.”
