First Step To Remove The Courtois Plaque From The Paseo De Centenarios

This Tuesday, December 17, the traditional social commission of the Atlético de Madrid. A meeting in which some leaders of the red-and-white team meet with some representatives of the Colchonera social masses, so that the decisions made by the club are more in line with the interests of the fans.

In the last meeting the first step was taken to eliminate the license plate. Thibaut Courtois of the Centennial Walk which is located on the outskirts of the Riyadh Air Metropolitanas revealed by the Bendita Adiciones Rojiblanca program. A Walk that already changed its name in its day Centenarians to Legends at the request of this Social Commission.

The club has reached an agreement so that the Social Commission that will be held just before the summer will generate the criteria by which a plaque can be removed from the club. Centennial Walk. A first step so that there is the option of having other plaques of other historical footballers of the club that can be removed.

A detail that could cause that, in addition to Courtoisothers can be removed, such as Hugo Sánchez, Agüero either Joao Felix who in their day earned the enmity of the red and white fans after a somewhat abrupt departure.

Thibaut Courtois played in the Athletic from 2011 to 2015 on loan from the Chelsea. At that time it was difficult for him to play for the English team, and he trained as a top-level goalkeeper in the Vicente Calderon. As a red and white he achieved a League, a Europa League, a European Super Cup and a Copa del Rey. He was the undisputed starter in goal, and after playing 154 games he earned his badge in the Centennial Walk.

The problem came because in 2014 he went to Chelseaand after four years in London decided to return to Madrid. Since there is no space in the Athleticdecided to sign for the real Madrid. Something that did not sit well with the mattress fans.

The disagreement escalated when, in the run-up to the final against Liverpool in 2022, they asked him about the one he lost with the Athletic and against the white team. “If you face the real Madridyou know they win the finals. Now I am on the good side of history,” he said at a press conference.

Something that, logically, made the fans who came to tear off the plaque even worse, after the president of the club himself Atlético, Enrique Cerezo will ensure that “if you want to remove the plate Courtois go with a pick and shovel and remove it”.

The last episode of confrontation with Courtois It happened in the last derby after he scored the real Madrid. The goalkeeper celebrated and encouraged the cheering crowd to continue singing, something that did not sit well with the fans who began throwing objects at him to the point that the match had to be interrupted for 10 minutes.

Now, the next chapter of disagreement between Courtois and the Atlético de Madrid.
