Thibaut Courtois' performance for Real Madrid against Manchester City has given cheered up some Chelsea supporters.
Once considered a firm favourite amongst the Stamford Bridge faithful, the Belgian international's relationship with a large section of the club's supporters turned rather sour following events which transpired leading up to his exit.
Having been given extra time off after his national team finished third at the 2018 World Cup, Courtois was expected to report for pre-season training at Cobham the day after the Community Shield defeat by Manchester City.
Whilst compatriots Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi were present that day, there was no sign of the keeper.
Instead he went AWOL in a bid to push through a move to Los Blancos just days before the transfer window for Premier League clubs was due to close.
In the end Courtois got his wish and the Blues managed to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga as a replacement.
Despite his exit, Chelsea fans continue to keep an eye on the goalkeeper's progress.
Courtois was in action against Man City in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night and some feel he could have done better with Gabriel Jesus' equaliser.
The Brazilian got in behind Sergio Ramos to guide a header at goal and Courtois didn't react quick enough and had to pick the ball out of his net.
As expected, this prompted a big discussion on social media as some were critical of Courtois' role in Jesus' goal, but others pointed out his save in the first-half to criticise Kepa.
Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
Speaking of Courtois, former Chelsea goalkeeper Marcin Bulka has described him as having a big ego.
"He has a big ego," Bulka told Foot Truck. "If he makes a mistakes, he goes to the coach and says stuff like: 'This defender wasn't in the right position, he should have done this and that.'
"He does not want to accept the fact that it was his fault."
