BARCELONA fans cruelly taunted Manchester United star David De Gea after he gifted Lionel Messi a goal in his side’s Champions League defeat at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona battered Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Messi scoring twice in a 3-0 victory at the Nou Camp.
The Argentina international opened the scoring early on, capitalising on some poor play from Ashley Young to curl the ball into the net.
Shortly afterwards, however, came the most-decisive moment of the tie.
Messi let rip from distance but his strike seemed easy for De Gea to hold. Unfortunately for the Manchester United star, however, he allowed the ball to slip under his body.
And the Independent say Barcelona fans taunted the Spain international by pretending to bow to him.
In recent years, De Gea has been widely recognised as one of - if not the - best goalkeeper in world football.
But the 28-year-old has not been his usual self this season and his mistake against Barcelona came just weeks after a howler in the Premier League against Wolves.
De Gea’s stock in Spain is not as high as it is elsewhere.
The United star himself loathes the way he is treated in his homeland, ever since he was accused of stealing a doughnut from Tesco shortly after arriving in England.
