Champions League: Navas still undefeated round trip

In Spain, the Madrid press used to call it "the talisman".

On Wednesday evening, Keylor Navas performed one of his best performances in the PSG jersey, inheriting a 9 out of 10 in our columns.

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper disgusted FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi to seal the Parisian qualification in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

How could it be otherwise with this guardian?

It's factual: Navas has never been eliminated in C1 in a round-trip confrontation.

Recruited by Real Madrid in 2014, he played five European campaigns with the Spanish club.

On the first, Iker Casillas continues to be the holder in this competition.

The elimination of Real in the semi-final against Juventus is therefore done without Navas.

From the 2015-2016 season, the former Levante goalkeeper asserts himself as an indisputable element in the Madrid goal.

He becomes the first goalkeeper in history to win three Champions League in a row, under the orders of Zinédine Zidane.

The first, Navas even conceded only 2 goals in the 6 games in the 8th, quarter and semi-finals.

Thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, he saw a "comeback" against Wolfsburg (0-2, 3-0).

The second is more complicated with 6 goals conceded in 6 outings and a hot double confrontation with Bayern Munich (2-1, 4-2 after).

The third is even more so with a clash against PSG, Juventus or Bayern.

But again, Navas comes out the winner every time.

The last exercise with Real Madrid is the one where Navas loses his place in front of Thibault Courtois.

Coincidence or not, the Madrilenians are humiliated in the round of 16 against Ajax Amsterdam (2-1, 1-4) in their stadium.

With PSG, the very believing goalkeeper only plays the double clash against Dortmund in the round of 16 last year (1-2, 2-0).

Before that of the last few days against Barça.

A real lucky charm.
