Good work always gets rewards. The strength shown by the Atletico defence throughout the 2012/2013 season has meant that Courtois has managed to be the goalkeepinger who has conceded the least amount of goals and picked up the Zamora Trophy as a result. Along with the other trophies (Copa edl Rey and European Super Cup), Thibaut added this prestigious trophy to his collection to become one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the league.

Courtois has had a great season, conceded 29 goals in 36 games, keeping a clean sheet in 20 league games. He has broken records for the most consecutive minutes without conceding a goal both at the Calderon and away from home. The keeper has also been crowned Copa del Rey champion, and international hass been a regular with Belgium. In the cup he has played 8 matches in which he has been unbeaten in 4 of them. With his national side he has played 6 matches to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil, Thibaut conceded just one goal, keeping a clean sheet in 5 games, numbers that see his side topping their group.
