Navas' father has spoken out in defence of his son and about what he perceives to be a Spanish media agenda.
Freddy Navas said, 'They want a Spaniard in goal at Real Madrid and when they see a South American they either accept it or they don't. They know he is the best but because of pride they cannot accept him.'
Navas Sr. was at the Bernabeu at the weekend and recalls the moment his son saved that penalty.
'My skin was tingling and tears came to my eyes when I heard so many people shouting my son's name,' he said, 'in one of the most difficult crowds at one of the best clubs in the world. He is a source of pride for all of Costa Rica.
'Keylor told me that everybody was behind him. Marcelo, Cristiano Ronaldo, James and all the other players love him because he is very quiet and humble.'
