His reasoning was realistic. The goalkeeper explained that in order to survive, he needs someone to live with and rely on every day, adding that Carvajal&#8217;s personality and leadership qualities will help him with direction and decision-making in extreme situations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Thibaut Courtois reveals which teammates he would choose to survive the apocalypse<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Courtois talks about other special teammates<\/h2>\n<p>He also suggested alternatives depending on your goals. Courtois joked that if survival was more important than enjoying his final days, he would choose Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9. According to Courtois, the two attackers will demonstrate their dynamic presence both on and off the pitch and will ensure entertainment until the end.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange comes as Real Madrid returns its focus to competition. The club returns to the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u on Saturday and has won 10 of 11 league games so far. Arbeloa&#8217;s team will aim for eight consecutive league wins and will face Real Sociedad in Round 24. A win would temporarily move Madrid into first place, pending the result of Monday&#8217;s match between Girona and Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe&#8217;s scoring form could prove decisive. The French forward has scored in each of his last six league games, producing consistent results in a tough schedule. Head coach Alvaro Arbeloa pointed to Real Sociedad&#8217;s recent run of form and warned that Real Sociedad will face a serious challenge. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Real Madrid&#8217;s momentum is unstoppable<\/h2>\n<p>Since Pellegrino Matarazzo took over as manager, Sociedad are unbeaten in nine games in all competitions, including a Copa win at San Mam\u00e9s earlier this week. The Basque team currently sits in 8th place in La Liga, with Mikel Oyarzabal leading the attack with nine league goals.<\/p>\n<p>Madrid will also benefit from the return of Vinicius Junior after his return from suspension. February will include a demanding schedule with a Champions League double-header against Benfica and a league visit to El Sadar before the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Courtois&#8217; apocalyptic answer added some humor to the week, but the focus shifted to maintaining momentum in the title race. With the good form of their key players and the advantage of the Bernab\u00e9u, Real Madrid enter the weekend in a good position to aim for the top of the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/real-madrid\/2026\/02\/14\/698fc745ca4741812f8b459c.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>aAs Real Madrid prepare for a crucial period of the season, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois gave fans a bright moment off the field in a Q&#038;A on social media.
