Barcelona is now very close to winning La Liga. However, the Real Madrid star still has a reason to “kid” to make the great rival bitter.
The competition for the La Liga title this season is almost over. After 29 rounds, Barcelona won 73 points, 11 points higher than the team right behind, Real Madrid. The season has only 9 rounds left to finish.
The achievements of coach Xavi Hernandez’s team are clearly commendable. If they take the throne in La Liga, they will have 2 titles this season. At the beginning of the season, this team defeated Real Madrid to win the Spanish Super Cup. However, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois thinks that what the great rival is having is very normal.
Sharing with the press after the 2-0 win over Cadiz , the former Chelsea star said: “We have a very long score gap with Barcelona. But we still have the King’s Cup final against Osasuna. Real Madrid will also play midweek. Other teams only play on Saturday and then play next Saturday.”

Courtois’ statement is clearly meant to be ironic that Barcelona has no other arena to fight except La Liga. In the Copa del Rey, Blaugrana let the White Vulture come upstream in the semi-finals. In the first leg, the Spotify Camp Nou home team won 1-0 but lost 0-4 in the second leg.
In the Champions League, coach Xavi’s army was even eliminated from the group stage. They cannot compete for tickets to continue with Bayern and Inter. Down to the Europa League play-off round, this team encountered MU and also had to taste the bitter fruit. They drew 2-2 at home in the first leg and lost 1-2 when they went to Old Trafford in the second leg.
Sharing about the recent 2-0 victory over Cadiz, Courtois said: “We played a good game. Before the first goal, we created many chances but goalkeeper David Gill played well. They were able to draw but we controlled the game. We could have scored more goals, but we need to stay strong for the third.”
At 2:00 p.m. on April 19 (Vietnam time), Real Madrid will be a guest on Chelsea’s field in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals . In the first leg, the White Vulture won 2-0.
