Ex-Real Madrid goalkeeper Bizzarri: Why treat Keylor like that?

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Albano Bizzarri feels for Keylor Navas.

Keylor has found himself dumped to the bench for summer signing Thibaut Courtois by caretaker coach Santiago Solari.

Bizzarri, who at 41 now plays in Italy for Serie B Foggia, can understand Keylor feeling frustrated.

"In any team in the world there are two goalkeepers of the same level, it was an unusual thing that after winning three Champions Leagues they signed Courtois, it's hard to put yourself in Keylor's shoes after reigning on the Old Continent and being the best goalkeeper," said Argentine Bizzarri.

"The change of coach usually generates in the players something that changes the dynamics, we all hope that Santiago (Solari) has a successful path in Madrid."
