Thibaut Courtois had a series of weird and unusual pre-game superstitions. In his own words, first, he enters the stadium corridors at a particular time. Then, he texts his girlfriend that he is changing his clothes and not to message him until the game gets over. Then he goes to the bathroom, clicks a selfie of him sitting on the potty and sends it to 4 of his friends in Belgium. Then he wears his left shoe and sock first as he is left-handed.

Wait, it doesn't end here before going on the field he wets the tip of his gloves. And when reaching the goal he hits the goal post with his boot and punches the middle of the goal net. He says after doing all this he enters a trance and then can't be distracted.

Pheeeew !!!!!!
