The goalkeeper of Madrid’s Real, Thibaut Courtois, criticized the performance of his teammate Raúl Asensio in the match of the second round of the group stage of the Club World Cup against Pachuca (3:1).

— Playing with ten men is very difficult. They ran behind our backs a few times. Yes, the red card can be considered a harsh punishment, but this is already the second match, and again a similar mistake. You need to be a little smarter and not allow such moments. Asensio understands this himself, there are no problems. We will fight for him, — said Thibaut Courtois.
It is worth noting that in the seventh minute of the match against Pachuca, Raúl Asensio was sent off the field.
Additionally, after two rounds, Real has four points in its assets. In the first match, Javi Alonso’s team had a draw with Al-Hilal (1:1).
