In addition, the world-renowned statistician MisterChip, went on and said that at this point, Keylor Navas would earn the Ballon d’Or, if it were decided by how decisive a player has been in the second round or the quarter of the Champions League
If the Ballon d’Or were awarded only for what has been seen in the Champions League in the eighth and quarters, Keylor Navas would take it off the street. Impressive.

Another of those who applauded the Costa Rican was former Spanish footballer, nationalized Mexican, Marc Crosas, who recalled how the Costa Rican was also transcendental to Barça in the round of 16.
Forget the discussion about the “best goalkeeper”, Keylor Navas is one of the top 3 footballers in CONCACAF history, alongside Hugo Sánchez and Rafa Márquez. Place the order you want.

Finally, Tomas Roncero, a renowned Spanish journalist, was also one of those who praised the Costa Rican and his brilliant performance.
