T. Courtois, Real Madrid's goalkeeper, has shared his thoughts on controversial referee decisions, Manchester City FC's punishment, the Negreira case, and his pick for the Ballon d'Or award.

During this international break, T. Courtois remains in Baldebebas. The Belgian goalkeeper reached an agreement with the national team to take a temporary break from international duty after the World Cup to focus on Real Madrid.

In an interview with Onda Cero, the Belgian player discussed the club's current situation and many other topics.

Regarding controversial referee decisions, he said: "I don't think there's any manipulation. I'm not that paranoid. There are fouls called in other matches, but they don't call them for us. On the contrary, they often call fouls against us as well."

He continued: "Some things make you wonder... I don't understand. They come and explain things to us, but then the next week they do the complete opposite."

When discussing the Negreira case involving FC Barcelona, he noted: "Everyone is waiting for the Negreira case verdict, which is a serious matter."

When asked about his Ballon d'Or choice, he added: "The award should definitely go to K. Mbappé. Everyone is impressed by his speed and goals. The Ballon d'Or should be given to the best player, not the one with the most championships. With that logic, Karim Benzema should have won it two years ago."

Regarding his main rival, T. Courtois continued: "I admire Raphinha a lot. He's a very important player for his team and scores many goals. He might not be getting the recognition he deserves. We have to stop him in El Clásico."

T. Courtois also spoke about Manchester City FC's punishment, saying: "What Manchester City FC ultimately did undermines fair competition. Maybe they didn't have the ability to sign some of the players they have..."

He then spoke about his family, saying: "My son plays for Real Madrid's youth team. He's a striker, very similar to K. Mbappé. He also likes being a goalkeeper, but I want him not to play as a goalkeeper to avoid comparisons."

He added: "Some fathers think their son will be the next Cristiano Ronaldo and pressure them a lot... Some kids even quit football at age 16. Kids should enjoy playing on the pitch."
