Juanma Castaño Only Saves One Real Madrid Player in Getafe: 'It's Over...'

Opinions on What Was Seen on the Coliseum Field Have Left Multiple Analyses. One of the most striking comes from Juanma Castaño, who didn't hesitate to open  "El Partidazo" de COPE by pointing to the most decisive footballer of the white team once again. According to the journalist, that player is none other than Thibaut Courtois.

"If There's a League, It's Thanks to Courtois", stated Juanma Castaño bluntly. He then marveled at the goalkeeper's performance: "what a second half the Real Madrid goalkeeper had to ensure Ancelotti's team won in Getafe 0-1". That goal by Arda Güler, however, doesn't prevent the spotlight of the match from shifting to the Madridist '1'.

Because "Getafe had very clear chances in the final stretch of the match to tie the game. But I insist, once again, Courtois is the savior for Real Madrid". The key role of the goalkeeper from Bree in recent seasons is a recurring theme but not surprising: he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Meanwhile, Juanma Castaño points out that "with five matches left until the end of LaLiga, and with a Clásico remaining, remember, the situation remains the same". Real Madrid relies excessively, in the opinion of the COPE journalist, on a Thibaut Courtois who proves to be at his best level for several consecutive seasons.

He Is the Cornerstone of the Team

The journalist reviewed the team's competitive obligations:  "they have to win in Barcelona, in Montjuïc, and wait for Barça to fail in one of the other four remaining matches". Real Madrid must "of course, win everything", notes a Juanma Castaño who elevates Thibaut Courtois as the best of the merengue squad.

The decisive performances of the Real Madrid goalkeeper have prevented the white club from falling behind in the fight for the LaLiga leadership this season. Juanma Castaño has made it clear: in his opinion, if Thibaut Courtois isn't in top form, "LaLiga is over" for the Madridist team.

That excellent performance would not only make Thibaut Courtois stand out as the best player of Real Madrid according to Juanma Castaño. It also offers a very clear roadmap in the Valdebebas offices regarding the goalkeeping saga. Initial reports point to a renewal until the summer of 2028, given that his current contract ends in mid-2026.

Juanma Castaño understands that the victory in LaLiga, if it becomes a reality, would largely be due to Thibaut Courtois. It is not the first time that the Belgian '1' has been essential for the sporting successes of the white team, a dynamic that the white leaders especially value.
