Thibaut Courtois: Player of the Month

Real Madrid faced Getafe FC in their first LaLiga match of the year. Los Blancos won the match 3-0 and Courtois picked up yet another clean sheet in the season. Getafe had seven shots on target but the Belgian keeper successfully managed to keep the ball out of the net. 

Real Madrid then hosted Sevilla in their Matchday 22 clash in LaLiga. It was a tough challenge for Zinedine Zidane's side but Real Madrid emerged victorious in the end. Luuk de Jong hammered the ball behind Courtois. It was the only goal the 28-year-old conceded in the month of January in LaLiga. However, Casemiro's brace helped Real Madrid bank the essential three points.
