Courtois added: ‘I get along well. He’s the boss. He wants us to win. I like his style, he’s very close. 

‘He doesn’t miss a game, something I haven’t seen before in any director. He demands a lot from you, but he’s a great president. He has achieved everything. 

‘It’s not like we send each other WhatsApps, but we talk before and after the games.

‘In the box, he always comes over to chat with Mishel, with the families of the other players.’

Courtois admitted it’s difficult for he and Gerzig to enjoy their private lives in the Spanish capital, as they are recognised all the time.

Gerzig continued by revealing that their wedding will be in a private, romantic location, adding: ‘We already have the date, a magical place. It will be a private, romantic and fun ceremony, with a big party where there will be music.’
