Atletico Madrid keeper Courtois thrilled to win title

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was thrilled to win the Spanish Liga title.

Atletico won the title at Barcelona thanks to a dramatic 1-1 draw.

"It was a very hard game. Nobody gave a chance to us because after last week, we thought that Barca just had to win against us," Courtois told Sky Sports.

"They were really ready for this game and after 20 minutes we lost two important players for us, but the players who came in did good jobs.

"We went 1-0 behind and second half, the way we came back was great. Then we had to suffer. We suffered and we won."
