Thibaut Courtois labels Real Madrid teammate ‘the best player at the World Cup’
Real Madrid star Thibaut Courtois has revealed his take that teammate Jude Bellingham was the standout performer of any player at this past summer’s World Cup.
Midfielder Bellingham of course enjoyed nothing short of a spectacular summer in the colours of England.
En route to Thomas Tuchel’s troops battling their way to a semi-final finish at the World Cup, the former Borussia Dortmund talent at times almost single-handedly dragged his fellow countryman through fixtures.
Bellingham racked up a remarkable seven goals from his midfield berth across the length of the tournament, including crucial doubles against both Mexico and Norway.
And as alluded to above, one individual of the opinion that such performances were superior to those conjured up by any other individual at the World Cup is Thibaut Courtois.
Speaking during an exchange with the media this week, Real Madrid shot-stopper Courtois revealed his take that:
“Jude Bellingham was the best player at the World Cup.”
