Thibaut Courtois joined Real Madrid in the summer

Courtois did not play with Ronaldo at the club as he joined during the summer in a deal worth 35million with Mateo Kovacic joining Chelsea on a season-loan long.“He is not being talked about in the locker room,” Courtois told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.“It is mainly the press that drops his name. There were matches that we lost in which we got 10 chances but did not score.“At the same time he scores two for Juventus. Then it’s easy to talk about him.”2

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 17 goals for Juventus this season

However, Courtois did admit that the team are missing the goals of their former talisman.Madrids top scorers this season are Karim Benzema with 12 goals while Gareth Bale has 11.Ronaldo already has 17 goals for his new club this campaign. “If Ronaldo leaves and there is no real top attacker in his place, you know that it will be a difficult year,” he continued. “You take 50 goals away.“You hope that Benzema or Bale will score more and partly they do that too. We are making progress in the last few weeks.“We have won the Club World Cup and are still active in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.“Okay, in LaLiga we are 10 points behind. But sometimes Barcelona also has difficult matches that they win in the last minute.“Maybe it’s a bit of a transitional year. For me it does not matter much if the first year is less if the next ones are top.”
