Official Champions League final PlayStation® Player of the Match: Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been named named PlayStation® Player of the Match for the 2022 UEFA Champions League final.

Courtois made a number of stunning saves to deny Liverpool in Paris, most notably turning a Sadio Mané shot on to a post in the opening period and instinctively parrying Mohamed Salah's fierce shot in the second half.

UEFA's Technical Observer panel: "He made crucial saves at critical moments during the first half when Liverpool were on top. He also made an extraordinary save to deny Salah late on."

Courtois added: "I said in the press conference before the game we were going to win. We have once again shown that Madrid are kings of Europe. To be honest I can't really believe the save I made from Salah. The most important save was the Mané one, I think. It was difficult, I really used every centimetre of the two metres I have, and then turned fast to get the rebound."
