Real Madrid: 4 things to watch against Levante on Sunday
Another amazing save from Real Madrid GK Thibaut Courtois
It seems like Levante striker Jose Luis Morales always scores a world-class goal against Real Madrid. This man can score some absolute wondergoals for Levante, and the 33-year-old is off to a scary start this season with three goals and an assist through three appearances (252 total minutes). Morales is a veteran of La Liga with plenty of skill, and he was the one who sunk Real Madrid hearts in February.
It’s a good thing Real Madrid have Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper has made a world-class stop seemingly every week. He made a trio of big saves against Real Valladolid, bailed out Los Blancos at Real Betis despite giving up two goals, and was immense in the clean sheet at Real Sociedad when he stifled star striker Alexander Isak on a breakaway opportunity.
Courtois is one of the top three goalkeepers in the world and delivers the goods every week. Los Blancos have come to rely on him to make that sterling save every matchday, and this weekend should be no exception against a Levante team that is usually dangerous to the Royal Whites.
So look for Courtois vs. Morales to happen again. Or maybe Roger Marti will have the big chances. Whatever the case, Courtois is a safe pair of hands in the Real Madrid net who is capable of the spectacular, and he may have to put on another spectacle in this road match.
