With a tip of the hat to WAGNH's (and Reddit's) kyhadley, here's a short, but sweet highlights video of some Thibaut Courtois's best saves for Atletico Madrid.
Granted, shot stopping is just one part of being excellent goalkeeper - and this video most certainly glosses over issues such as aerial presence or distribution - it's still rather impressive. If your jaw doesn't drop at the penultimate save (around 2:21), you might want to check your pulse.
As Atletico make an unlikely challenge at the Spanish league title, Courtois will need to continue his excellent form. And in his spare time, he can even help them in their cup run, as Valencia found out much to their frustrations earlier this week.
