Thibaut Courtois praised Trent Alexander-Arnold as a formidable new teammate, calling him a "nightmare" to defend against due to his exceptional crossing skills. Alexander-Arnold, who recently joined Real Madrid from Liverpool, contributed with his first assist during the Club World Cup against Juventus. Courtois noted that his striking ability is impressively high, especially in free-kicks and corners. The pair are adjusting to each other's playing styles, with Courtois acknowledging that Alexander-Arnold's adventurous play pushes the team towards improvement. Real Madrid is preparing to compete in the quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund in the ongoing tournament.
"He could have provided several assists already in the tournament. In training, his striking is unbelievable, his free-kicks and corners are on another level. I don't think I've seen anyone with his quality in striking and crossing."
"As a goalkeeper, he's a nightmare at times. He keeps you on your toes and forces you to work hard to make stops. He makes us improve."
