Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois named 3rd best goalkeeper of decade

 

Thibaut Courtois has been named the third-best goalkeeper of the decade by the reputable International Federation for Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).

Here's the top 10:

1. Manuel Neuer

2. Gianluigi Buffon

3. Thibaut Courtois

4. Hugo Lloris

5. Keylor Navas

6. Jan Oblak

7. Petr Cech

8. Marc-Andre ter Stegen

9. David De Gea

10. Iker Casillas

Casillas being only in the 10th spot could be explained by the fact that the Spaniard reached his peak around 2012, as it was around that time Jose Mourinho started using Diego Lopez ahead of Iker.

Besides, he left Real Madrid in 2015, spending the last four seasons of his career in Portugal.
