Thibaut Courtois was born in Bre , where he began his career at the local Bilsen in 1997. He played in this team for three years before moving to Genk , at the age of eight [3] [4] , where he began to play as a left-back , until he switched to a new goalkeeper position [3] [4] .

Club career

Genk

Season 2008/09

Courtois made his debut in the basic composition of “Genk” against “ Ghent ” on April 17, 2009, at the age of 16 years [3] [4] [5] [6] . Courtois was able to make his debut at Genka at such a young age, only because of the crisis of the goalkeeper position in the team [6] . Courtois began the 2008/09 season as the sixth goalkeeper of the foundation [6] [7] , after Logan Bailly, Sinan Bolat , Davino Ferhulst, Sam Franssen and Cohen Castels [7] . However, after the sale of Baia to the Mönchengladbach Borussia [7] [8] , and Bolata to the Liege Standard , [7] [9] in January in 2009, the third goalkeeper Verhulst became the main [7] , and Franssen and Castels the second and the third goalkeeper, respectively. Then Verhulst was disqualified for two games by the Royal Belgian Football Association for a foul in a match against Liège Standard on March 15, 2009 [10] [11] [12] , while Franssen had a torn leg in his leg and Castells had broken finger [13] .

Season 2010/11

Before the start of the 2010/11 season, head coach Frankie Verkoteren chose him as the team’s first goalkeeper [14] . Since Verhulst had an injury and had problems with the transfer of Hungarian goalkeeper Laszlo Ketelezha [15] , Courtois was selected to participate in the preliminary stage of the UEFA Europa League against Inter Turku in Finland , the home match ended in a 5-1 win for Genk [[ 16] , and the answer is 3: 2 [17] . After three games in the Belgian Championship [18] [19] [20] , on 18 August 2010 Courtois signed his first three-year professional contract with Genk [21] . The next day, Courtois began his professional career with a 3-0 loss from Porto in the UEFA Europa League [22] .

However, in the final game of the champion playoffs against “ Standard ”, “Genk” had to beat “Standard” in order to become a champion, since “Standard” had the same tournament situation [24] . In the match where “Standard” faced the tough defense of “Genk”, Courtois managed to save the goal in the last three additional minutes from the pressure of “Standard”, the match ended with the score 1: 1 [25] , and “Genk” for the third time in his history became the champion of Belgium [26] [27] .

- Statement by Genka on its website for the sale of Courtois [33] [34] .

On July 26, 2011, Courtois was leased to the Spanish Club Atletico Madrid for long-term rentals.

In that meeting, Ajax sensationally defeated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu with a score of 1: 4.
