Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea once again cemented his reputation as one of the planet’s best players in his position, after brilliantly denying Cristiano Ronaldo.
In truth, United have relied on their Spanish shot-stopper a bit too much in recent seasons, and tonight’s Champions League tie against Juventus was absolutely no different, with the Serie A champions dominating from the early stages.
Paulo Dybala gave the visitors the lead at Old Trafford after just 17 minutes, and it could’ve been a lot worse had it not been for De Gea.
Early in the second-half, the Turin giants turned up the heat on United, with Ronaldo attempting an audacious top-corner effort – only to be thwarted at the last second by the Spanish international:

De Gea is currently still negotiating a new contract with the United hierarchy – and surely they should give him whatever he wants, eh?
He’s be absolutely impossible to replace!
