Keylor Navas on Real Madrid exit: Some things happened and I don't know why Real Madrid Only has fond memories

Keylor Navas admits that he doesn't fully understand what happened with him at Real Madrid that led to his departure last summer.

The Costa Rican was sold to Paris Saint-Germain after having it made clear that Thibaut Courtois was first choice, even after playing a key role in Madrid's conquering of Europe for three consecutive seasons.

"I always try to keep the good memories," he told El Chiringuito.

"I have good memories with [Zinedine] Zidane, he defended me a lot of times and I thank him for the confidence he had in me.

"There are things that happened and I don't know why they happened, but they did."

Keylor fulfilled a dream by joining Madrid, and he remembered the excitement he felt when he learned of their interest.

"I always knew that I wanted to play at Real Madrid since I was a child," he said.

"That was very clear. I said yes to Madrid and at the time I didn't know what the contract was."

Returning to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with PSG was strange for the goalkeeper, and he admits to being a bit confused when he came back.

"The day before, during the walk of the pitch, I was about to turn left [to the Real Madrid players' area] but I had to think 'oh, no, it's the other side'," he recounted.

"I appreciated that people would sing for me. I'll always be grateful to those fans.

"I made mistakes but they always supported me.

"I'll always remember celebrating the titles because when we went out one by one, the love they showed me was incredible."
