Thibaut Courtois maakte vanavond eindelijk zijn debuut voor Real Madrid. Een clean sheet houden lukte tegen Leganes helaas niet, want halfweg de eerste helft moest hij zich gewonnen geven op een strafschop. Verder kreeg hij niet veel werk, maar desondanks leken de fans van Real wel behoorlijk tevreden te zijn over zijn debuut.
6. Carvajal, Casemiro, and Varane don't have to come forward as Asensio plays as wide midfielder.

7. Great GK options between Navas and Courtois. Both are in form.
8. Possession based football with Casemiro-Kroos has provided more changes than purely attacking with Isco-Asensio
Courtois might as well have had a cleansheet if it weren’t for that Brazilian monkey, excellent game, perfect distribution and footwork, full of confidence

- Asensio, Bale and Benz were on complete fire. Our midfield was solid too as always
- Courtois had nothing much for him to do apart from that penalty being conceded, but quite a good debut
- We'll only go up from here on, so patience is the key
Keeper like Courtois 👌

Frustrating game for Courtois as the only dangerous shot he had to face was the pen. Should've been a clean sheet honestly but it happens.

The most important thing: the team is motivated enough to work hard in a new system. The system allows individuals to grow and shine.

Love seeing Bale and Benzema enjoying the football, and Asensio being decisive every game.
Good debut by Courtois as well. pic.twitter.com/7pCViG9LfW

Benzema makes so many smart runs, pulling defenders out of position. Great to see him scoring goals too, he’s nearly equalled last season’s tally already

- Marcelo’s attack is great but man he leaves some holes at the back
- Courtois was very tidy in goal
