Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas says he is proud to have broken the record for the longest run without conceding a first Champions League goal, but is not getting carried away with the praise coming his way for his current form.
Navas kept clean sheets in his two Champions League games last season against Basel and Ludogorets, and has not conceded in clashes with Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo and Paris Saint-Germain [twice] so far in 2015-16.
There was an element of good fortune to Tuesday's 1-0 win over PSG, with the French champions dominating for long periods at the Bernabeu, and Julien Rabiot and Angel Di Maria seeing shots hit woodwork.
But a sixth straight shut-out has taken the Costa Rica international past Atletico's Miguel Angel Moya, who went 529 minutes unbeaten in his first appearances in the competition, until conceding against Bayer Leverkusen in last year's last-16.
Navas, who was set to leave Madrid for Manchester United last August before a deal sending David De Gea the other way broke down, told reporters after the Group A win that he was happy to have broken the record.
"It sounds nice, I am happy, proud and grateful to my teammates, because this is a team sport," Navas said. "I feel happy because things are being achieved, records being broken. They are not the most important, but when that happens you must feel proud. I am relaxed, you must go and earn things. I am focused on my work, training and playing."
Navas missed last weekend's 3-1 La Liga win at home to Las Palmas with a muscle problem, while defender Sergio Ramos took goal kicks towards the end of Tuesday's game. And Navas admitted to not being 100 percent fit at present.
"I'm fine," he said. "The little strain does not stop me playing. I am relaxed and the feeling I have on the pitch is the most important. You must always take some precautions. If a teammate can help with something, you are thankful. I will try and recover 100 percent from little issue I have. We will see what happens."
Told that he'd been Madrid's best player so far this season, Navas said he did not pay attention to such praise, but was enjoying his football at the moment.
"I don't read anything, stay away from that, try to keep my feet on the ground and remain with my family, who support me," he said. "It has not been easy for me, but you must enjoy these moments.
"This is something for the group, everyone is working hard in defence, from Cristiano [Ronaldo] up front. If this was tennis it would be different, but football is about the team."
Reports have suggested that Madrid will soon offer a big pay-rise to one of the squad's current lowest earners, something which Navas said he was not overly concerned about at the moment.
"I am very relaxed, always say things will come if you keep going along and improving," he said. "The same in any job. I must return the confidence the coaches have shown in me. It is not for me to judge.
"I always said I just wanted an opportunity with Madrid, and that has come. I must keep working with faith, and know that effort and hard work brings its rewards."
