Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, on Sunday night, told Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois that he was lucky he didn’t score against him during both sides’ Euro 2023 round of 16 clash at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, Spain.
Ronaldo also wished Courtois good luck as Belgium qualified for the quarter-final ahead of Portugal.
The Juventus forward and Courtois embraced and exchanged a few words after Belgium eliminated Portugal from the Euro 2023.
Ronaldo played alongside Courtois during his time at Real Madrid before he left for Juventus in 2018.
Speaking to Courtois immediately after the game, Ronaldo was quoted by Marca as telling the goalkeeper, “You were lucky, eh? The ball didn’t want to go in, good luck man.”

Courtois was one of the exceptional players of the match, making several decisive saves during the encounter.
