Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois has outlined some of the differences between the Los Blancos and his former club, Chelsea.
The 26-year-old completed a move from Chelsea to the Santiago Bernabeu club shortly before the transfer window closed for Premier League clubs in August.
Speaking on Chelsea and Real Madrid, Courtois told Belgian outlet, Het Belang van Limburg, “The difference is twice as big and of course, the feeling is very different.
“When you look forward, you see this wall of people, whereas at Chelsea, sometimes you could still see the sky or the hotel behind the stands.
“Of course, it isn’t the first time I’ve played here. I know the language, know the coach and the stadium. The first couple of minutes was testing the waters, but after that, it felt good from the start.
“I had a good connection with everyone from the start, at practice, the level is high…the level is higher compared to Chelsea.”
Courtois made his first debut for Madrid in their 4-1 victory against Leganes last weekend in the La Liga.
