One may say that a goalie is the team’s savior. The player prevents the other team from scoring by either intercepting or blocking the incoming balls before they can reach their own goalposts. A single error from this individual might be disastrous for the squad.
Keepers are essential in both the offensive and defensive phases. The finest teams in the world have always been backed by the best goalkeepers in history. As a result, the majority of the best players in this position in the world are members of national teams or participate in international competitions.
The best goalkeepers of all time hold the records for most shutouts, fewest goals allowed, most games played, and other statistical categories.Because of their essential role, theyalso command substantial salaries in the sport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/soccer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">football</a>.
<h2>Which goalkeeper earns the most money in football?</h2>
The success or failure of a team frequently rests on the shoulders of the goalkeeper, whose job it is to protect the goal. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a> lost 3-0 (5-2 on aggregate) in the second leg of their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/europa-league" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Europa League</a> Quarter-Finals clash after<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/david-de-gea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David de Gea</a> made<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Manchester-United-is-out-of-Europa-League-due-to-De-Geas-BIG-mistake-Funniest-memes-and-reactions-20230420-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two costly errors.</a>
His present position as the highest-paid goalkeeper in the world only makes his recent performance more disappointing. Surprisingly, his salary is more than three times that of Manchester City’s standout goalkeeper, Ederson. The Spaniard also narrowly beats off Oblak and Neuer for first place.
Meanwhile, the disparity is significant when comparing them with Milan’s Mike Maignan and Inter’s Andre Onana, the goalkeepers that each team hasin the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a> Semi-Finals.Considering the Frenchman is now the most in-form ‘keeper in the world, his current weekly salary of £60,000 is shockingly cheap. His competitor in the city, Onana, pulls in £65,371 weekly.

After a sensational performance in the Round of 16 at the Champions League against Liverpool, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Carlo-Ancelotti-explains-why-Lionel-Messi-will-never-be-the-best-player-in-history-20221229-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlo Ancelotti</a> and his players knew this was their best shot in the fight for the title.
A few months ago, during the first meeting between these two teams in the 2022-2023 La Liga, Real Madrid won 3-1 at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. That’s why a victory on the roadwould be crucial to be only six points behind Barcelona and also own the goal-average tiebreaker.
However, in a thrilling match, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/El-Clasico-Why-Barcelona-jersey-has-Motomami-logo-of-Rosalia-20230318-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona </a>got a last-minute 2-1 win over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Real-Madrid-announce-historic-decision-against-Barcelona-in-corruption-scandal-20230312-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>.

<h2>‘It’s impossible’: Thibaut Courtois surrenders La Liga to Barcelona</h2>
After Barcelona’s victory over Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois was the first player from Real Madrid to face the press. Following a crushing defeat, the goalkeeper was asked if the 2022-2023 Liga had been lost today at Camp Nou.
“Yes. We have to be honest. Now there are four games of difference (12 points). There’s nothing impossible, but the truth is it’s very difficult. We have to return here and win in the Cup (Copa del Rey). I think we played a good game today. I’m sure we can come back here and win in the Cup and we still have the Champions League to finish the season nicely.”

Thibaut Courtois incredibly 'surrenders' La Liga to Barcelona - Bolavip US

While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-ballon-dor-list-by-years-and-age-20211128-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ballon d’Or</a> changed its criteria to reward a player’sperformance duringthe club season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/What-is-the-difference-between-The-Best-and-the-Ballon-dOr-20230227-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Best</a> continues to consider the calendar year. That’s why today, February 27, we’ll get to know the winners of the 2022 awards.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Messi-holding-the-World-Cup-trophy-Best-images-of-Argentina-becoming-champions-20221218-0051.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a> are expected to have a memorable night, with Lionel Messi, Lionel Scaloni, and Emiliano Martinez all on pace to bring home three prizes. Besides, La Albiceleste could also winThe BestFan award.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-winners-list-by-year-20220526-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> will also have many of their own in contention, withKarim Benzema, Carlo Ancelotti, and Thibaut Courtois all in contention in their respective categories. However, neither of them will attend the event.
<h2>Why Benzema, Ancelotti, and Courtois are not present in the 2022 The Best</h2>
According to Marca, Real Madrid claim neither of their nominees can attend the event due to the tight schedule, though that wouldn’t be the only reason. The Spanish outlet believes that Los Blancos already know their nominees won’t win, while they’re also unhappy that Vinicius Jr. was snubbed from the Team of the Year shortlist.
Real Madrid will therefore have only one representative in the ceremony. Emilio Butrageño, a club legend who know works as an executive, will show up at the Salle Pleyel in Paris.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Lionel-Messi-Kylian-Mbappe-or-Karim-Benzema-Who-would-win-The-Best-according-to-FIFA-23-20230210-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Best Awards</a>are the annual recognition byFIFAto the top players and coaches in the world. Since January of 2017, this ceremony appeared as an alternative for the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-2022-trophy-weight-size-material-and-value-20221016-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ballon d’Or</a>whenFrance Footballbroke their partnership with FIFA.
Undoubtedly, the most expected awardis the one forMen’s Player of the Year. That distinction has been won by stars such asCristiano Ronaldo(2016, 2017),Lionel Messi(2019), Robert Lewandowski (2020, 2021) and Luka Modric (2018).
However, considering everything that happened in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Qatar-2022-The-text-that-made-Lionel-Messi-cry-after-the-World-Cup-final-20221223-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022World Cup</a>, other awards will have a tremendous competition.

Read here to find out the details.
<h2>The Best FIFA Awards: Emiliano Martinez is favorite to win Goalkeeper of the Year over Thibaut Courtois</h2>
Prior to the ceremony of the 2022 The Best FIFA Awards,a panel of experts selected the candidates in each category. It’s important to remember that this was a special year which included theWorld CupatQatar.
In the category of The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper, the finalists are: Emiliano Martinez (Argentina/Aston Villa), Thibaut Courtois (Belgium/Real Madrid) andYassine Bounou (Morocco/Sevilla). Martinez and Bounou were extraordinary in the World Cup, while Courtois’ accolades came at the club level.
According to a report from Diario ABC in Spain, Emiliano Martinez has been chosen as The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper of the year. For thousands of fans and experts, this comes as a big surprise considering Thibaut Courtois had an exceptional run in the knockout stages of the 2021-2022 Champions League. Without his interventions, it’s almost certain that Real Madrid wouldn’t have lifted the trophy.
So, if this report is true, controversy will ignite after The Best FIFA Awards. Though Emiliano Martinez was superb at the World Cup, with his penalty shoot-out polemic strategy against the Netherlands and the miraculous save against Kolo Muani in the final, many people believe that’s not enough compared to Thibaut Courtois’ campaignto win Champions League and La Liga.

Report: Emiliano Martinez might get controversial win at The Best FIFA Awards

Report: Emiliano Martinez might get controversial win at The Best FIFA Awards - Bolavip US

There are plenty of very good goalkeepers in the world, though not many of them can say they had a better career than Thibaut Courtois. Breaking into professional soccer very young helped him have a lot of accolades, but his résumé speaks for itself when it comes to the places he played at, including of course <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/vinicius-jrs-salary-at-real-madrid-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221102-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>. The list of clubs he represented marks his hierarchy.
Courtois started his career in Belgian club Genk. However, it didn’t take too long before European giants began to pursue him. The one that made the move was<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/aubameyang-chelsea-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20220902-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a> in July of 2011, but he left the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/bernardo-silvas-salary-at-manchester-city-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221101-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> club almost immediately on a loan to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/antoine-griezmanns-salary-at-atletico-madrid-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221102-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atletico Madrid</a>. Three years went by, and he had another chance in his return to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/kalidou-koulibalys-salary-at-chelsea-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221102-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blues</a>.
His performances put him among the best in his position, so it was only a matter of time before <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/federico-valverde-real-madrid-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221027-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> went for him. The transaction was a bit controversial since they had <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/keylor-navas-psg-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221030-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keylor Navas</a> in the squad with whom the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/luka-modric-real-madrid-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221026-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merengues </a>won three Champions League titlesin a row. Now, nobody doubts he is an irreplaceable player for the Spanish club.
<h2>How much does Thibaut Courtois make?</h2>
His trajectory includes multiple powerful teams, so it’s not shocking his income is above most goalkeepers’. Courtois arrived at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/karim-benzema-real-madrid-salary-how-much-does-he-earn-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221009-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Casa Blanca </a>in 2018 for 35 million euros and signed a six-year contract back then. But in 2021 Florentino Pérez agreed to an extension that currently ties him to the club until the end of the 2025-2026 season.
Being the best player in the 2021-2022 Champions League final where they defeated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/virgil-van-dijk-salary-liverpool-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221029-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a> certainly proved the Merengues right in adding years to his contract beforehand. The number in that deal is around €7.200.000 per year. Courtois then makes €600.000 per month, €138.462 per week, €19.726 per day or €822 per hour.

He was a key piece for the Merengues to win the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League and more trophies with the Spanish team, so he was recognized as the best one in his position nowadays.
Unfortunately, it is very hard for a keeper to become the best player in the world. Midfielders and strikers always get all the compliments, but now a former Real Madrid’s legend has defended the Belgian for what he did for his club by saying it was not fair how they treated Courtois in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/neither-bellingham-nor-musiala-who-will-be-the-winner-of-the-2022-kopa-trophy-20221016-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ballon d’Or ceremony</a>.
<h2>Iker Casillas steps up for Thibaut Courtois after not being in the final list for the Ballon d’Or</h2>
If there is someone that knows what he is talking regarding the goalkeeper position is Iker Casillas, more if it is for Real Madrid. The Spanish former player won everything with the Merengues and now the same thing is happening with Thibaut Courtois.
The Belgian goalkeeper was very important for Real Madrid in the last season. In the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League final against Liverpool, he made some epic saves that gave the Spanish side its 14th title in this competition.
That gave him the opportunity to compete for the Lev Yashin Trophy, which is giving during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-2022-prize-money-how-much-is-a-player-paid-for-winning-the-award-20221016-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ballon d’Or ceremony</a> to the best goalkeeper of the season. Of course he won it, but Iker Casillas wanted more,
After Karim Benzema won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-2022-trophy-weight-size-material-and-value-20221016-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 Ballon d’Or</a>, Casillas stepped up for Courtois. The Spanish goalkeeper said that he was not thrilled about the idea of theBelgian not being in the final three-man list as the best player nowadays.
“I’m very happy for Thibaut Courtois!,” said Iker Casillas through his official Twitter account. “With a huge difference, the best goalkeeper in the world. What I’m not happy about is that he was not included in the final podium for the Ballon d’Or.”

Everyone knows that a derby can go to any of both sides, regardless of the teams’ form prior to that game. But there are certain ways to concede defeat, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/santiago-bernabeu-in-blue-and-red-barcelona-beats-real-madrid-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20220320-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid‘s loss to Barcelona</a> on Sunday was completely unacceptable for Los Blancos.

Madrid not only were in great form in La Liga but they have also made a statement in Europe by turning things around against PSG in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-vs-psg-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-free-second-leg-of-2021-2022-uefa-champions-league-round-of-16-today-20220309-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an epic comeback triumph</a>. This derby defeat was not in their plans, which is why many players came out to apologize to the fans.
<h2>David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois among the Real Madrid players embarrassed by the Barcelona loss</h2>
Shortly after the final whistle, many Madrid fans left their seats quickly to try and forget what they’ve just <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/only-two-barcelona-players-scored-a-brace-on-their-el-clasico-debut-at-the-santiago-bernabeu-20220320-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">witnessed</a>. But some players stayed on the pitch while the spectators left the stadium.
David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, and Federico Valverde were seen walking around the field to apologize to those fans who were still on the stands. Real Madrid suffered a brutal loss and they knew it.
A day later, Alaba has also reflected on the defeat and took to Twitter to send a candid message to all the Merengues: “Last night hurt. Defeats are part of football but this one is hard to take. It was a big disappointment for us and I’m incredibly sorry for all you Madridistas.
We’re disappointed with our performance yesterday and all we can do after the international break is step it up and work that much harder to make up for it and keep playing the season the way we have been.¡Hala Madrid! ¡Hasta el final!”
Losing by four to the lifelong rivals is not the best way to head into the international break. However, it’s time for Real Madrid to prepare themselves and come back stronger when they visit Celta on April 2.

The Belgian goalkeeper made a number of crucial saves in the series, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-thibaut-courtois-saves-lionel-messis-penalty-in-psg-real-madrid-ucl-game-20220215-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a spot-kick to Lionel Messi</a> in the first leg at the Parc des Princes. However, the British magazine FourFourTwo didn’t include him in their ranking of the world’s top 10 goalkeepers.
<h2>Thibaut Courtois reacts to snub from Top 10 goalkeepers list</h2>
“They portray themselves. That people then have to vote inawards and it’s clear they have no idea,” Courtois said in an interview on the YouTube channel Miguel Serrano TV, as quoted by Marca in Spanish. “There are the games I’ve played this season. That’s theproblem: I believe that players and coaches should vote forawards. Letpeoplewho have an ideato debate, especially with goalkeepers. Let Schmeichel, Van der Saar, Casillas debate. It would be better.“
Carlo Ancelotti has also taken a huge shot at the magazine for snubbing his goalkeeper.“FourFourTwo didn’t mention Courtois as top 10 GK? (Laughs) That’s nonsense, he’s the best in the world. You have to give up your journalism or coaching license if you think that,” Ancelotti said, per theMadridZone.
<h3>FourFourTwo’s ranking of the world’s Top 10 goalkeepers</h3>
1. Edouard Medy (Chelsea) 2. David De Gea (Manchester United) 3. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) 4. Ederson (Manchester City) 5. Alisson (Liverpool) 6. Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) 7. JoseSa (Wolves) 8. Unai Simon (Athletic Club) 9. Yassine Bounou (Sevilla) 10. Oblak (Atletico Madrid)

Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois furious after being snubbed from Top 10 GK ranking

Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois furious after being snubbed from Top 10 GK ranking - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-psg-salary-how-much-does-he-make-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20210813-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> is undoubtedly one of the best players on Earth, but he’s not having a great season at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-dest-wore-chicago-bulls-jersey-at-messis-farewell-press-conference-20220213-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a>. The Argentine has struggled to play regularly and he has only scored seven goals in Paris so far – twice in Ligue 1, five times in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-to-face-real-madrid-2021-2022-uefa-champions-league-last-16-round-schedule-ties-teams-and-key-dates-20211213-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a>.
That’s why all the eyes were on him ahead of the round of 16 tie against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-titles-of-all-time-20201021-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>, with the soccer community eager to see if Messi stepped up against one of his favorite victims.
However, it’s been a long time since he scored against El Merengue and he missed out on a great opportunity to end the drought. In the first leg of the UCL round of 16, Thibaut Courtois denied Messi’s spot-kick.
<h2>Watch: Messi misses penalty against Real Madrid</h2>
It’s not a secret that Paris Saint-Germain aim to become <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-who-have-never-won-champions-league-20201203-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European champions for the first time</a> this season. But the knockout stage brought them a challenging task from the very beginning by drawing them with Real Madrid.
After an uneventful first half, Mauricio Pochettino‘s men started to put the visitors’ back against the wall. But Courtois has firmly stopped any effort from the hosts so far, including a penalty kick from Lionel Messi.
