Keylor Navas (r) - New lease of life

Keylor Navas has been given a new lease of life at Real Madrid with the re-appointment of Zinedine Zidane as Los Blancos manager. The Frenchman immediately restored him to the starting line-up in his first match in charge, and the Costa Rican repaid Zinedine Zidane's trust in him by keeping a clean sheet in his first match after several months of bench warming.

He has featured in three out of a possible four matches for Real Madrid since the return of Zizou to the Bernabeu hot seat. Navas played a prominent role between the sticks for Zidane's three consecutive Champions League victories at the helm of Real Madrid.

When Zidane left Real Madrid, Navas thanked him for the opportunity the Frenchman offered him at the club. His special relationship with the coach means he has an upper hand in Real Madrid's starting line-up.
