Just after 6pm local time, Keylor Navas uploaded a message to his social media which could be seen as a sly dig at temporary Real Madrid coach, Santiago Solari.
The Costa Rican has been named as a substitute against Viktoria Plzen, despite playing all of the previous Champions League games this season as a starter under Julen Lopetegui.
"Blessed is the man who trusts me, who puts his hope in me: he will be like a tree planted on the bank of a river, which stretches its roots towards the stream and does not fear when the heat reaches, for its foliage it is always leafy, in a time of drought it does not worry and never fails to bear fruit," was the phrase from the Old Testament, written by Jeremiah, that appeared on Navas' Instagram page.
A man of faith, the keeper has looked to the Bible to face a difficult situation from a sporting point of view.

Navas should leave and let Snakeois take the wheel so Madrid finish outside of top 4 in La Liga. We can get them chanting Navas name the same way they chant CR7s after they get rekt by every team...
