Didac Aguirre Courtois's Gesture That Madridists Applaud and Infuriates Atlético Fans Even More
The Fury Unleashed Among Atlético de Madrid Fans After a Grand Gesture by Thibaut Courtois
The last Madrid classic left many mixed feelings for the fans of both clubs. Meanwhile, the Merengues celebrated their qualification to the Champions League quarter-finals with enthusiasm. On the other hand, Atlético's fans were extremely upset about a match where they believe they suffered an injustice.
This annoyance turned into fury after the gesture Courtois made following the Merengue victory. The Real Madrid goalkeeper passionately kissed the team's badge in front of the Colchoneros' fans after Antonio Rüdiger's decisive penalty. An attitude that has been highly praised by an equally enthusiastic Merengue fanbase.
This gesture, besides showing love for the club, was made by Courtois to silence the Colchoneros. Having shown a clear overconfidence before this match, Atlético de Madrid and their fans received a more than deserved outcome.
Courtois's Madridism
Having been part of Real Madrid since 2018, Thibaut Courtois has tasted the sweetness of success on more than one occasion. The Belgian, since his arrival, has been key in several crucial matches to secure victory. Despite his past as a Colchonero, the goalkeeper has never shown regret for playing for the right team.
With an unparalleled commitment to Real Madrid, Courtois has always shown this in the most important moments. His kiss to the team's badge moved and delighted a Merengue fanbase that was extremely happy to have him as their goalkeeper.
A different attitude from a Colchonero fanbase that continues to hold a grudge against the Belgian since his signing with Real Madrid. Even with this annoyance, Atlético de Madrid once again received the lesson of never underestimating the Merengue team, especially in the Champions League.
A Gesture for the History Books
Given the rivalry that both Madrid clubs have maintained over time, this gesture by Courtois will be etched in history. Even with all the achievements the Belgian has obtained, this was one of the most important moments of his celebrated career.
