Manchester United and Spanish international goalkeeper David de Gea made a howler of a mistake against Barcelona last night which led to Barcelona's second goal on the night and from there it became almost impossible for the away side to mastermind a comeback.

It was Messi’s trickling right footed strike which De Gea failed to collect and went through him into the bottom corner. It was a real bonus for the Barcelona captain as he hardly expected to score with that attempt.

The last time De Gea made a similar kind of mistake, was against Portugal back in the 2018 Russia World Cup group leg tie where he failed to stop a weekly timed shot from the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo who eventually got a hat-trick on that night.

However, David de Gea will be hugely disappointed after his effort as he has been extremely reliable between the sticks over the last few years or so. The Spain international has saved the Red Devils several times from the jaws of defeat and made saves which can only other dreams of.
