Courtois: I am among the five best goalkeepers in the world

Atletico Madrid goal keeper Thibaut Courtois is full of confidence as he is enjoying another fine season in Spain.

Rated as the best young goal keeper in the world, the 21 year old Belgium shot stopper who is on loan at Atletico from Chelsea has played a key role in the Rojiblancos sensational start to the new season.

"I am in my best form. And I feel that I am among the five best goalkeepers in the world," Courtois was quoted as saying by AS.

"I've grown a lot at Atletico, especially last season when we won the European Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.

"I've made great progress, especially in terms of speed, reflexes and experience.

"I want to play, I will not be sitting on the bench. At Atletico, I feel great and it allows me to play in the Champions League."

Courtois joined Chelsea from Genk in the summer of 2011, but he has yet to make his official debut for the Europa League holders. He has a contract with the Stamford bridge side until June 2016.
