Keylor Navas Criticises 'Ugly' Treatment From Real Madrid Under Santiago Solari

Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas has blasted the 'ugly' treatment he received from Real Madrid during former manager Santiago Solari's reign at the club.

Despite significant contributions to Real Madrid's recent trophy-laden era, Navas has found his role considerably diminished this season with the summer resignation of Zinedine Zidane as well as the £35m signing of Thibaut Courtois.

The Costa Rican shot-stopper started just one La Liga match under Solari, and the tensions between the two nearly came to a head after Navas was left on the bench for Real's inconsequential final Champions League group stage match against CSKA Moscow.
