Thibaut Courtois aims subtle dig at Kylian Mbappe as he names surprise player that Real Madrid missed in Champions League defeat by Arsenal

Thibaut Courtois appeared to aim a subtle dig at Kylian Mbappe after Real Madrid were dumped out of the Champions League by Arsenal on Wednesday night.

Real entered the second leg of the quarter-final clash needing a miraculous comeback after losing 3-0 at the Emirates last week, and they never looked like pulling it off as they were beaten 2-1 in front of their home fans as Arsenal sealed a 5-1 aggregate victory.

The Spanish giants appeared to quickly run out of ideas on Wednesday night, with their only goal coming from a William Saliba error, as Vinicius Jr dispossessed him before slotting into the unguarded net.
