Real Madrid are, of course, currently scheduled to face Portuguese powerhouse Benfica in the Champions League on the European continent.

Things are back-and-forth in Lisbon, with both teams stuck trying to score goals.

The same thing happened after Kylian Mbappé’s opening goal was canceled out by Andreas Schjelderup at the other end.

Still, Benfica remain frustrated at not being able to get ahead…

Thibaut Courtois has made several great stops between the posts for Real Madrid, one of which left the aforementioned Jose Mourinho in awe.

After the 33-year-old hit the crossbar with an assured goal for the hosts, the Benfica manager was seen with a huge grin on his face, simply amazed at how good his former club’s No. 1 was.
