For athletes at the top of their game, footballers can be a weird bunch as far as their pre-game rituals go.
We remember players kissing Fabien Barthez's bald head as a good luck charm, we know all about Karim Benzema's boots' game and now it turns out Thibaut Courtois has a ritual of his own. The Belgian taps both his posts and the crossbar before matches.
And our fans on Reddit had some fun with it.
DMsupp: "Puts into perspective how fucking tall he is, Jesus."
Unlikely_Road7922: "Goalkeepers are generally taller than they look. At least this is the case for me. I was shocked when I found out Thibaut was 6'6 and Szczesny is 6'5. They look like completely average sized people but are fucking giants."
Priyash: "I can actually hear him doing this in actual Broadcast even when the camera is off him."
Share4acare: "It’s kind of like a dog peeing to mark its territory lmaoo."
