Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has again defended his treatment of Keylor Navas.

Despite selecting a fringe XI , Solari went with Thibaut Courtois in goal ahead of Keylor for last night's Champions League defeat to CSKA Moscow.

"This competition is suitable for Courtois," argued Solari.

"But Keylor has all my respect: I try to make decisions and I'm sure I'm wrong."

Former Real GM Jorge Valdano said in the aftermath: "That Keylor did not play today seems strange to me, there must be something in the background."
