Real Madrid made it two from two in La Liga with an impressive 4-1 victory over Girona on Sunday night .

Despite going a goal down early on, the European champions hit back with penalties from Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, a fine Gareth Bale goal and then another from Benzema late on.

The win maintained new boss Julen Lopetegui's perfect start, but plenty of eyes were drawn to what was going on at the back of the team rather than the front.

Because for the second game in a row, Lopetegui opted to start with Keylor Navas in goal rather than summer signing Thibaut Courtois.

The Belgian's move to Madrid from Chelsea was one of the headline deals of the summer, as he agitated for a move and even failed to report for training in a bid to get it .

Chelsea replaced him by making Spanish international Kepa Arrizabalaga the most expensive goalkeeper in world football at £71m , but while he has experienced victory in each of his three appearances for his new club so far, Courtois is still waiting to pull on a Real shirt.

And many fans think that wait might go on for a while yet.

They were so impressed with the display of Navas - who played a key role in Bale's goal with a quick thrown to Isco, who in turn released the Welshman - that many think he should keep the No.1 shirt.

After the match though, Lopetegui claimed that he'll decide who his goalkeeper will be on a game-by-game basis.

"It's not a situation that's easy to understand but it's simple enough to explain," he told reporters.

"I've got some really good options in goal and there are no problems in that area. We'll decide what's best for each game.

"Keylor got the nod today and did very well. There's great competition and that makes us stronger in the goalkeeping department. I've got some thoughts in my mind, but I'm not going to share them.

"Over the course of the season, I'll look for solutions to solve the next immediate challenge."
