Thibaut Courtois Says 'It's Clear Now Who Is No. 1' at Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois has said it's "clear now who is No. 1" in the battle to be Real Madrid goalkeeper following a difficult first campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Belgian has played a promising 90 minutes in pre-season so far, and Courtois told Het Nieuwsblad (h/t Marca) he felt he's done enough to cement his status as Real's first choice ahead of Keylor Navas:

"I think it's clear now who is No. 1 [at Real Madrid], and I feel stronger than ever. I have had a very good pre-season, I have trained well and I feel fine.
