The white team achieved its fourteenth Champions League and the PSG goalkeeper highlighted the quality of Thibaut Courtois. Gianluigi Donnarumma said that the Belgian is "the best goalkeeper in Europe" and was decisive in the final against Liverpool.
"He is the best goalkeeper in Europe, no doubt. Yesterday I watched the game and he had an incredible performance, made great interventions, and kept Real Madrid standing until the end," said the goalkeeper of the Parisian team in a press conference at the Italian national team's concentration in Coverciano.
Donnarumma acknowledged that watching the final made him feel strange. "We could have been us and be there, but unfortunately, that's football," he commented.
Italy will face Argentina next Wednesday in London in the so-called 'Finalissima' between the European champion and the winner of the Copa America.
Courtois' excitement
The Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, decisive for Real Madrid to win their fourteenth Champions League, affirmed that they had "shown once again who is the king of Europe."
"It's incredible. The truth is that after so many years, so much work, coming to the club of my life. Yesterday I said that Madrid would win, I saw many from Liverpool and many people who criticized me, but we won," he stated.
He assured that after making the first save, the focus from there on was "focus, focus." "Today no one could take away my desire to win a Champions League, for my loved ones I was going to win one," he emotionally stated to Movistar.
