Central American football has been the hotbed of great players throughout history who have had the opportunity to deploy their level throughout Europe, and two of its greatest exponents are, without a doubt, Keylor Navas from Costa Rica and Jorge “Mágico” González from El Salvador.
Fernando Morientes, who was a historic Spanish striker, had the opportunity to talk about both characters from the American Continent in a talk with El Gráfico. When talking about Keylor Navas, Morientes recognized his triple championship in the Champions League and the way he managed to win over the meringues fans thanks to his performances under the three sticks.
"The goal has had great legends in Real Madrid, which happens that Keylor achieved something difficult and valuable for the Real Madrid fan. He has touched fans for his way of being. He is an extra-sports guy because he is very close and affectionate with people and that remains. Another thing that is just as important is that he has won important titles like the three Champions League and winning them is already difficult. Madrid have won a lot but three of them have been with Keylor in goal, "he said.

We arrived on that occasion with well-known players and the team On the contrary, there was the mythical Magico González, of whom we have great memories here in Spain, "he concluded.
