Man Utd vs Barcelona: Pundits blast David de Gea for goalie error
The Red Devils started well and were perhaps unfortunate to go 1-0 down as the Argentine showed his immense talent to put the home side ahead with a fine effort from the edge of the box.
Soon afterwards the ball fell to Messi again as he tamely shot with his right foot.
But the ball inexplicably went under the body of De Gea and put Barca 3-0 up on aggregate.
And social media went wild over the incident, slamming the Spanish goalkeeper and his error for Manchester United.
One tweeted: “David De Gea has been awful by his standards this season. World Cup as well. Shocking.”
Another added: “That's awfully outrageous from David de Gea for the second goal....the world's best goalkeeper?”
“David De Gea is the most overrated footballer itw,” a third explained.
A fourth said: “David De Gea has never been and will never be the best Gk in the world.... simply because he always has mistakes like that in his locker.”

BBC Sport pundit Robbie Savage couldn’t believe what he saw at the Nou Camp.
He said: “Oh no no no. David de Gea.
“It was such a weak effort from Lionel Messi and it just trickles under De Gea. Game over.”
And he also lamented errors in the lead up to both goals for Barcelona.
