Courtois made some great saves and helped Real Madrid avoid conceded goals in the first half but it's a match for Declan Rice. He scored two fantastic goals from free kicks and Courtois is a victim unavoidably. No goalkeeper can make a save against those outstanding freekicks and Real Madrid lost this match not only because of those free kicks from Declan Rice.
Their attacking players had a very bad match and both Mbappe, Vinicius, Jude Bellingham nearly disapeared in this match. They must wake up to perform better in the second leg, because with the very big advantage and increasing confidence, Arsenal will not easily be beaten in Bernabeu stadium in the second leg.
Had it not been for Courtois brilliant saves we would’ve have been mentioning Real Madrid conceded five to six goals. Arsenal were solid all round and their defense even without Gabriel formed a brick wall against one of the best attacker in European football today.
