Thibaut Nicolas Marc Courtois is a Belgian professional footballer who play as a goalkeeper for La liga club Real Madrid and the Belgium national team. He is considered one of the best goalkeeper in the world.
Thibaut Courtois, who finished 7th in the Ballon d'Or rankings, says it's 'impossible' for a goalkeeper to win the award
"The truth is that I think it's impossible. Obviously Karim deserves it, we all agree with that. But after the year I had as a goalkeeper, you win the Champions League, you win the league, you play the Champions League final and your team wins it thanks to your saves, and you only end up seventh [...] that says a lot."
"The votes don't go towards goalkeepers. In the top 10 there weren't any defenders either. It's what happens. It's a bit difficult. But at least they gave me the trophy for best goalkeeper."
