CANNES, France:

Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas said Sunday that he was more scared of walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival than facing Liverpool’s lethal striker Mohamed Salah.

The Costa Rican said he found showing a film about his life at the festival more stressful than a Champions League final.

“It’s a delicate question,” he told reporters which recounts his rise from humble origins to become one of Real’s millionaire galacticos.

“The Champions League final I know. The red carpet tonight is new... it’s a bit stressful,” he admitted.

The 31-year-old was part of the allconquering Madrid side that won the European title in 2016 and 2017, and will face the English team in two weeks’ time in this year’s decider. (AFP)
