In addition, the world-renowned statistician MisterChip, went ahead and said that at this time, Keylor Navas would deserve the Golden Ball if it were decided how decisive a player was in the second or quarter round Champions League.
If the Golden Ball had been awarded only for what was seen in the Champions League in the eighth and quarterfinals, Keylor Navas would take it off the street. Impressive.
