'Spanish Karius!' - De Gea destroyed after another howler

BetOdds Manchester United UEFA Champions League Barcelona Barcelona v Manchester United David de Gea

The Manchester United goalkeeper let a straightforward Lionel Messi shot slip under him for Barca's second, and he was roundly roasted

David de Gea is capable of reaching tremendous heights as a goalkeeper, and can also turn in a cringe-worthy moment or two.Â

Unfortunately for De Gea, Tuesday saw the Manchester United stopper produce another one of the latter.Â

With his side already down 1-0 against Barcelona at Camp Nou, De Gea let a relatively tame shot from Lionel Messi squirm underneath him and into the net for the Argentine's second on the night.Â

Messi had scored a brilliant goal in the 16th minute already, and his strike just four minutes gave his side a three-goal cushion on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-final.

It is not the first time this season the former Atletico Madrid man has made a costly error and, naturally, there was plenty of reaction to the Spain international's howler:

De Gea apparently did "super special preparation" for facing Messi. Basic ball stopping skills practice might have been more useful.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been banging on about 1999 for so long that David De Gea wanted to get involved.Shame he went for Taibi in September rather than Schmeichel in April.

De Gea has been awful this season.

David De Gea has saved us plenty the past few seasons, this season however... Iâ€™ll leave it at that.

Getting shown up by Messi at Camp Nou - David de Gea finally gets a taste of what it's like to play in goal for Real Madrid.
