Radamel Falcao lavishes praise on Thibaut Courtois

Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has branded former Atletico Madrid teammate Thibaut Courtois "the best goalkeeper in the world".

Falcao played with the on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper for two years in the Spanish capital and has reserved the highest praise for the Belgian international.

"He is a good friend. And he is the best goalkeeper in the world," Falcao told Nieuwsblad.

The duo are expected to meet when Colombia travel to Belgium for an international friendly on Thursday.
