The Costa Rican made ten covers throughout the game and was the great savior of PSG who took the victory on German territory
The duel between Bayern Munich and PSG We had long-awaited duels in every position of the field, but in the goal was the place the most Manuel Neuer and Keylor Navas they would see the faces.
They have already done it on previous occasions, such as in the final Champions League from 2019-2020 and now it’s their turn to face each other again in a series of two games in which it was very clear that the attackers will have to work hard to break the lock they put in the goal .
After more than 90 minutes of action in the first accident, it was very clear that the one who came out with a smile on his face was Keylor Navas because he had maximum demand from the Bavarian attack and stopped almost everything.
Countless times, Tico managed to eliminate the danger from his door, with saving interventions from the first minute of the game, when he denied the opportunity to the Frenchman Lucas Hernández and many others to players such as Thomas Muller, Benjamin Pavard, David Alaba and Joshua Kimmich whom they tried it by all means.
Post-game numbers indicate that Keylor Navas OVER Manuel Neuer as he recorded 10 stops out of the 12 shots that hit him directly. These range from spectacular slaps to blows that he stopped due to his good location.
While on the side Bayern Munich, Neuer received four direct shots and received three goals, ie he recorded only a superb save that was in a heads-up against Neymar, however, as rarely happens, they scored more than the shots that the German he stopped them. Even in the goals conceded, the world champion Brazil 2014 He showed that he was not yet in the heat and did not prevent correctly the shot of Kylian Mpabbpe, which cost the ball to pass through his whole body and give the Parisians the advantage. In the other two goals, nothing is questioned, and rivals are given virtue to score.
In the case of the Costa Rican, in the goals he was scored, he is exempt from any guilt, because the header of Eric Choupo-Moting and Thomas Muller managed to go to space.
Thank God, we started the tie with the victory in a very tough match, but there is still work to be done. Proud of the team. Go to Paris! #ucl pic.twitter.com/5UDiUaPWmM

It is logical that the number of shots received by the team should be conditioned by the proposal made by the technicians on the bench, since Bayern Munich being the current and current European champion, he took over the reins of the game, which led to their generation of danger for Keylor’s ditch. In turn, PSG he was defensive and bet on speed on the counterattack, so they created few options, but they were lethal.
This is the first of two round-robin engagements in this quarter-final series and it is guaranteed that next Tuesday at Princes Park This goalkeeper duel will have a second half in which the show is guaranteed.
