Real Madrid will travel to Arsenal for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was absent from the game due to injury earlier, will return to the game and promises to win the game.
At the pre-match press conference, Courtois talked about his injury and said: "I'm fine, I just had a little problem before, but it's all routine. I have participated in several training sessions and am in good shape. Now we have to change our mentality and go all out to play the Champions League. The goal is to win the game."
"I had two injuries at the beginning of the season, both in the adductor muscle. The first one was due to too many collisions, the second one was probably due to returning too early. I have been fine since then, but recently there was a small problem. In order not to risk me, we chose to keep me until tomorrow's Champions League game."
In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid's opponent is Arsenal. So far, Arsenal has maintained an unbeaten record in the Champions League at home for two consecutive years. When the reporter mentioned this, Courtois said: "I didn't know this record before."
"But I don't think it will have a big impact. Just like we have won 15 Champions League trophies, it can't determine the result of this game. They are indeed strong at home, but Liverpool are also strong at home. Didn't we beat them 5-2?"
"We know Arsenal are playing well and we have to do our best to win. This is also our first time playing at the Emirates Stadium in many years and we all know it will be a tough game."
