He is one of the responsible for the two goals of Brujas against Real Madrid in matchday 2 of Group A in the Champions League and the Madrid fans were looking for answers for the second half, but Zidane decided to send Alphonse Areola onto the field in place of the Belgian, claiming that he was not in perfect physical condition to continue.

From Spain, Ignacio Peña, journalist of Directv Sports, informed the reasons that prevented the Belgian goalkeeper from continuing in the starting eleven against his country's club. "I am informed that Courtois has been substituted due to feeling dizzy and having stomach problems. Nacho has a possible sprained left knee", he wrote on his social networks.

Real Madrid was overcome by the speed of the three African attackers, who constantly sought space to impact the Madrid defense. That's how the first goal came, which was reviewed by the VAR system as the linesman signaled offside in the pass from Vanaken to Tau, and in which the Belgian forward tried to control instead of shooting, but the ball rebounded and ended up in the back of the net.

Real Madrid took control of the ball immediately after conceding the goal, but only managed two shots on target in the first 45 minutes. The most dangerous one was by the French center-back Raphael Varane in the 27th minute, which was saved by the Belgian Simon Mignolet with his right hand.

With the Madrid team pushing forward, the Croatian Luka Modric lost the ball in the build-up, which Dennis took advantage of to run towards the goal, stumbling in his run before shooting, but managed to shoot and beat Courtois with a shot over the top, making it 0-2 in the 39th minute to complete the surprise at halftime.
