Keylor Navas leads the way in saves among Europe's big guns
The Costa Rica international, who was Madrid's best player against Spurs, has made 39 stops and faced more shots (47) than his peers at the top table.
Keylor Navas’ exhibition against Tottenham was the latest in a string of fine performances from the Real Madrid keeper, who is currently the top shot-stopper aong Europe’s biggest clubs.
Despite constant rumours of Madrid making a move for a new keeper, with David de Gea and Thibaut Courtois usually top of that list, the Costa Rica international’s importance to the side keeps growing.
Navas has made 39 saves from 47 shots faced in all competitions in 2017-18 at a success rate of 80 percent. No keeper among Europe’s top sides has been under greater siege this season.
