Cristiano Ronaldo's selfless gesture to allow struggling team-mate Karim Benzema to score in Real Madrid's rout of Alaves did not come as a surprise to Keylor Navas.
Ronaldo passed up the opportunity to complete his hat-trick as he let Benzema seal Madrid's 4-0 victory over Alaves in La Liga Saturday.
Benzema had only scored three league goals prior to the clash at the Santiago Bernabeu before five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo paved the way for the Frenchman to convert an 89th-minute penalty.
"Cristiano's gesture speaks volumes for the type of team this is and how he is as a person," goalkeeper Navas said post-match.
