Thibaut Courtois Sets Record for Most Assists by Goalkeeper

Thibaut Courtois, the Belgian goalkeeper for Real Madrid, has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the goalkeeper with the most assists in UEFA Champions League history, providing three assists. This record was highlighted during Real Madrid's 3-0 win against Manchester City in the Round of 16 first leg tie.

Courtois surpassed previous record holders Francisco Molina and Oliver Kahn, with Molina having provided his first assist in a Chelsea match against Qarabag in 2017, and Kahn's earlier assist occurring during a visit to Kairat Almaty. The achievement underscores Courtois's exceptional skills not only in goalkeeping but also in playmaking.
