#3 Thibaut Courtois
Courtois had a pretty quiet tournament before the quarterfinals. He wasn’t tested too much against Panama or Tunisia and only made one or two saves in the game with England’s second choice XI. In fact, the only time he’s really been mentioned in this tournament was with regards to comments he made about Jordan Pickford’s height.
He made a good save in the first half to keep out Coutinho, and a deflected cross from Marcelo. He saved the best till last though and had to be at full stretch to keep out Neymar in injury time, securing his side a place in the semi-final. It was the sign of a great goalkeeper. He has had very little to do over the last couple of weeks, but when his side needed him, he produced.
