The legendary Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares considers Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to be the best in the history of football.
- For me, Courtois is the best goalkeeper I have ever seen. I really think so. I have never seen a goalkeeper better than him. Courtois has played six matches since he healed his cruciate ligament injury and has not conceded a single goal in them. Yesterday (the match against Atalanta), he made a save that 80% of goalkeepers are incapable of making, and another 20% can do it only once in their lives. It looks like Courtois is playing mini-football, because everything he does looks very simple," said Santiago Canizares.
