The great wall of Belgium! Fans go berserk after Courtois saves penalty in World Cup 2022 tie against Canada

Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois, the hero of the Champions League 2022 final, proved his worth again, this time for his country. 

During Belgium's Group F clash at the Qatar World Cup 2022 against Canada, the 30-year-old goalkeeper's reputation was at stake when the latter was awarded a penalty after Tajon Buchanan's shot hit the wrist of Belgium's Yannick Carrasco.

Canada's Alphonso Davies took his time to think, and in front of him was Belgium's 'brick wall'. But Courtois held his nerve and made a sensational save, denying the men in white a goal. The rebound went back to Davies, but at an awkward angle.

Belgium players and fans erupted in massive jubilation as Courtois proved why he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. As expected, supporters of the Real Madrid legend took to Twitter to shower their praises on the goalie.

"The great wall of Belgium," noted one fan, while another added, "Courtois kept Belgium in the game at a difficult period when Canada were cooking them and now Belgium are winning. Best in the world."
