Allows one in draw Courtois registered no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Courtois failed to make a save in two out of his last four matches played, which is unusual of him who typically averages 3.2 saves a game. He only has five clean sheets in La Liga thus far, which is far low from where he was last season with nine by the end of February. This was due to his poor start in the beginning of the season, allowing at least one goal a contest in his first six league matches. It has been a different story his last eight game, allowing a total of three goals with five clean sheets in league play.

Makes huge mistake Tuesday Courtois made two saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Liverpool.

Impact Courtois conceded an early goal to Darwin Nunez and later made a massive mistake in Mohamed Salah's strike, failing to control the ball and allowing the star winger to find the back of the net easily. Fortunately for him, Real Madrid scored five unanswered goals to secure an all-time classic win at Anfield, but there's no question Courtois needs to be better in the next matches because Madrid can't rely on their attack all the time. The Belgian has three Liga matches before the second leg of this tie, starting with the Madrid derby vs. Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
