It’s being a very difficult season for Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican goalkeeper made a huge mistake on Sunday against Betis and he listened how the Real Madrid supporters booed him during the game. Luckily, he did a great save in the last minute, helping the team to obtain the three points.
There is a lot of controversy around Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican goalkeeper is not at his best, as he showed on Sunday against Betis. The Andalusian team didn’t arrive very often to Navas’ goal but they created some situations and the keeper was overwhelmed.
In the first half, Keylor went out of the box to catch a ball but he missed it and there was a crash with Brazanac. It should have been fould and red card but the referee didn’t whistle. Just few minutes later, Tony Sanabria shot weakly to the goal, and Keylor Navas made a huge mistake introducing the ball inside the goal.
The supporters started to whistle him whereas some team-mates gave him support during the game. Luckily, Sergio Ramos scored from a header and Real Madrid could comeback. And in the very last minute, Keylor Navas saved Los Blancos flying to save Sanabria’s header in the last minute.
Now there is an open debate about whether Keylor Navas should be Real Madrid goalkeeper or not. Kiko Casilla is no the bench and he has shown great skills this season. Besides, there will be a lot of rumours in the summer transfer window with David de Gea, Thibaut Courtois or Gianluigi Donnarumma in the agenda.
Zinedine Zidane wanted to highlight his saves, explaining that “Keylor Navas saved us in the end”. Also the captain Sergio Ramos wanted to defend him: “He had bad luck but after he did a great save”, the captain said.
