There are moments that leave scars, and can that to Thibaut Courtois affect him in the next parties his bad performance against the FC Barcelona, this Wednesday in the turn of eighth of final of the Champions League contested in the Camp Nou. The guardameta Belgian was not especially hit and his team, Chelsea, finish it paying expensive.

The two goals of Leo Messi went through him under the legs, whereas it also could have done something more in the goal of Ousmane Dembélé, since it diverted slightly the balloon with the gloves.

It tried to take with philosophy the fact to having received two goals underneath of the legs of Leo Messi, the best footballer of the planet and surely also the best of all time. "I have played against Leo Messi many times and in more than one received goals like those. The weak point of the guardameta is always underneath of the legs. It is a penalty", said Courtois.
