Thibaut Courtois held little back after helping Real Madrid win the Champions League final, and has explained what he meant about the need to put "respect" on his name.
The Belgian number one produced a number of important saves to keep Liverpool at bay at the Stade de France. He was given the official man of the match award by UEFA after Vinicius Jr's second-half goal gave Los Blancos victory, and was quick to speak out after the final whistle.
"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 England," the former Chelsea keeper said. "I saw a lot of criticism that I was not good enough or whatever."
