What if Keylor Navas also missed the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern on Tuesday? The question must thrill Parisian fans as the Costa Rican goalkeeper was impeccable in Munich on Wednesday (3-2).

But the question has existed since this Saturday and its premature exit in Strasbourg. The former Real Madrid player was replaced at the break by his usual substitute, Sergio Rico. Not in a logic of rotation. Navas was hit hard.

Is it serious, doctor?

Asked about this, Mauricio Pochettino wanted to be reassuring after the match. “We took him out as a precaution. We have a large performance department at the club and the instruction was not to take any risks, ”explained the Argentine coach, obviously not worried.

The bleached-haired goalie had been barely called upon for the first 45 minutes of the game. It is quite rare to say it: he had been beaten on a shot from Thomasson but saved by his post (9th). Then he had no stops to make, until his exit.
