Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists he is ‘rooting’ for Chelsea in the Champions League after his former club knocked Real Madrid out in the semi-finals.

Chelsea beat 13-time winners Real Madrid 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to clinch a 3-1 aggregate victory and set up an all-English final against Manchester City.

Courtois spent seven years at Chelsea before joining Madrid in 2018 – winning two Premier League titles with the club – and hopes they go on to win the Champions League.

The Belgian goalkeeper told beIN SPORTS: “Chelsea is a great team and I had some amazing years here. Nothing has really changed.

“I obviously wanted to win tonight but now we didn’t I will be supporting them in the final.

“I have plenty of friends and former teammates here so I only wish them the best for the final and I will be routing for them.”
