Thibaut Courtois Finally Names The Player Who Deserves To Win The 2022 Ballon d’Or

Speaking to Tuttomercato, Thibaut Courtois said: “It is impossible for a goalkeeper to win the Ballon d’Or, even more so if he plays in a team with Karim Benzema.

“I can go far, but it is difficult to win this trophy. For me, what matters is the fact that when I returned to the locker room, all my teammates were screaming my name.

“This is worth more than personal recognition. I needed to win a final for my career, for all the hard work, to put some respect on my name.”
