Hide AdA speculative question to ask a professional footballer who has over 3,000,000 followers on Twitter – but it got a response.
“I have a friend who’s a massive fan,” Courtois said. “So you have my sympathy for sure.”
He later added: “Btw this friend said two hours before the final we would lose 3-0. I got p***** and said I would save everything.

As expected, Courtois’ seemingly polite and innocent tweet prompted quite the reaction from Newcastle fans.
Realistically, Courtois is unlikely to join Newcastle but the club remain in the market for a goalkeeper this summer. Rumours of a move for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson were quickly played down by the club and it is understood that they will not be making a move for the 25-year-old.
The transfer window opens on Friday, June 10.
