Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was spotted enjoying a lunch date with his fiancée, Edurne Garcia Almagro, just three days after his pivotal mistake in the Champions League match against Barcelona. The couple dined in Cheshire before leaving in De Gea’s £160,000 Aston Martin.

This outing follows De Gea’s blunder, where a right-footed shot from Lionel Messi slipped under him during United’s defeat at the Nou Camp. Messi scored twice, and Philippe Coutinho added another goal, resulting in United’s exit from the tournament in the quarter-finals.

After the match, an visibly upset De Gea apologized to his teammates in the dressing room, recognizing that his error significantly affected their chances of advancing. He expressed regret, stating that the team could have won the tie had it not been for his mistake.

Despite not facing blame from his teammates, De Gea clearly felt the burden of his error as he left the field. His future with Manchester United remains uncertain, as he has yet to sign a new five-year deal that is currently on the table. The potential absence of Champions League football next season could influence his decision, especially with Real Madrid still showing interest in the Spanish goalkeeper, who is now in his eighth season at Old Trafford.
