Football | Fifa World Cup 2018 | Tuesday | 19th June, 2018

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is adamant he has learned his lesson after being humiliated by Barcelona star Leo Messi last season. Courtois made a crucial save in Belgium's World Cup win over Panama with the Rode Duivels 1-0 ahead last night. Afterwards, he laughed: "From Lionel Messi I have learned to keep my legs closed! "The supporters think that a match against Panama should not be difficult, but this is the World Cup.

They are at the World Cup because they deserve it. "In the first half we were perhaps a bit too structured and we found too little the free man. "We played well after that goal.".
