Speaking after his team's victory in Paris, Courtois spoke about the respect he deserves following his brilliant showing in goal.
"I saw a lot of tweets saying I would get humbled," said the 30-year-old.
"It was the other way round. Today I needed to win a final - for my career, for all the hard work, to put respect on my name because I don’t think I have enough respect, especially England. I saw a lot of criticism that I was not good enough or whatever."
Courtois is set to start Real's opening game of the new La Liga season as they begin the defence of their title at Almeria on Sunday.
