Navas shaves head in support of cancer sufferers

Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas revealed he shaved his head to send support to families and kids fighting cancer.

The Costa Rica international kept a clean sheet as Madrid recorded a 2-0 win at Malaga on Sunday, capturing the LaLiga crown for the first time since 2012.

"I pray to God for all of them, that they can recover from their illness," he said.

"For all of the kids fighting cancer. For their families, for those who continue fighting. This title is for them."

He was delighted that his team's efforts resulted in the title, saying: "It has been a great year and this is the reward for our hard work.

"Let's hope that this is just the first of many LaLiga titles. We've battled hard throughout the whole season, given our all until the end and we're very happy."
