Atletico Madrid supporters remind Thibaut Courtois of the day he abused Real Madrid fans

The former Genk player reached the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League final with the Los Colchoneros.

Real Madrid’s new goalkeeper acquisition Thibaut Courtois has been given a walk down memory lane. Atletico Madrid supporters have begun to remind him of a time when he threw taunts at Real Madrid fans when he played for the Los Rojiblancos on loan from Chelsea for three seasons.

The Belgian custodian moved to the Bernabeu for £35m from England. After Atletico’s Copa del Rey success in 2013, the shot-stopper was recorded hurling abuses tt Madrid fans. Due to his fantastic performances, he had become a fan-favourite during his earlier time in Spain.

The goalkeeper was filmed shouting on top of the Madrid Town Hall balcony, telling the Los Blancos fans to "f*** themselves up the ***."

He also has a plaque outside the Wanda Metropolitano, placed alongside players who have made over 100 appearances for the La Liga club. Courtois went on to make 111 appearances before returning to his parent club.
