'I'm not even on the podium' - Thibaut Courtois says winning Ballon d'Or is 'impossible' for goalkeepers
Thibaut Courtois does not believe he ever stood a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or this year because he is a goalkeeper. Before the men's prize was awarded to his team-mate Karim Benzema, Courtois picked up the Yashin Trophy which is given to the best goalkeeper for the 2021-22 season when he won the La Liga title and the Champions League. Ad Courtois' fine campaign was capped off by winning the player of the match award in the Champions League final against Liverpool.
