True, Real Madrid have a stable defense even that is confirmed by the appearance of their excellent goalkeeper, Courtois. Maybe some people think that Real Madrid's defense is weak because they saw Courtois being the last stronghold that was difficult to penetrate, so Real Madrid's defense didn't seem so dominant.
Real madrid goal keeper needs to be acknowledged, he is one of the reasons why Real Madrid were able to win many trophies by saving a lots of shots in laliga and Champions league. People always talk more about Real Madrid defense thinking that is their defense that makes them to win all their games, but their defenses are not good some times and when opponents get to the goalkeeper with shots , it is only the goalkeeper to save the ball from the net times like this.
In yesterday's Real Madrid final, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois got a lot of attention for his saves. Thibaut Courtois' performance throughout the UCL event was quite good. But in LaLiga in 38 matches played Real Madrid experienced 31 goals against, and that is normal as experienced by Barcelona, and Sevilla. But I admit, Thibaut Courtois' performance in the final yesterday, his performance made the match even more exciting.
