From 2011 to 2014, it was Thibaut Courtois who featured for Atlético Madrid while Cristiano Ronaldo played for Real Madrid.
Now the two will meet again when Belgium meets Portugal in one of the European Championship 1/8 finals, and the Belgian goalkeeper believes that he has developed more than Ronaldo since then.
I think he has continued to be the same player as when I was at Atletico. I have developed more. It has always been special to play against him.
He is an excellent player - quite proven. We have a plan to stop Portugal in general, not just one player, Thibaut Courtois said at a pre-match press conference.
Belgium and Portugal meet in Seville at 9 pm on Sunday.
