Courtois reaches 100 Champions League goals

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made Champions League history by making his 100th appearance in the competition during the opening match against Inter Milan. Courtois started the match at the Santiago Bernabéu and contributed to Real Madrid's valuable 2-1 victory, securing the club's first three points in the tournament. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Real Madrid, followed by Federico Valverde's second goal. Inter Milan managed to pull one back, but the Spanish side held on for the win. With his 100th Champions League appearance, Courtois became only the eighth goalkeeper to reach this milestone, further cementing his place among the most capped goalkeepers in the competition's history. Since his Champions League debut in the 2013-14 season, the Belgian goalkeeper has also made 359 saves, making him the all-time leading saver in the tournament's history. Courtois thus continues to strengthen his position among the most prominent goalkeepers in the history of the Champions League, in a European career that has spanned more than a decade, and witnessed many outstanding moments in the Real Madrid jersey.
