"Thomas Tuchel called me. I was close to going to Munich. When a coach under whom you have not played much says that he wants you to be in his team, it gives you a good feeling. But due to such sad circumstances as Courtois' injury, I got the opportunity to play for Real Madrid. When a team like that calls you, you don't have to think twice," Marca quoted Arrizabalaga as saying.
