Keylor Navas’ Redemption?
Keylor Navas has been having a rough season this year. Against Atletico, however, we started to see glimpses of the old, world-class Navas. Navas bailed Real Madrid out a number of times, and was perhaps a bit unlucky to not add to his scarce clean sheet tally.

If, as Marca writes, the Madrid Derby gave Navas a shot at redemption, he was definitely looking to take it. Navas turned in his best performance in a Madrid shirt for a long time. His one-on-one stop with Fernando Torres was Casillas-esque.
He also bailed out Madrid when Ramos clumsily passed the ball back to Griezmann. He can hardly be blamed for Griezmann’s ultimate equalizer, which prevented him from keeping a clean sheet in an otherwise tidy match.
Keylor Navas has had his struggles this season.

But he excelled in the Madrid derby cauldron.

Let’s hope this match provides Navas with some much needed confidence ahead of Madrid’s big tests against Bayern and Barca.
