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

The outing comes on the heels of De Gea’s error, where a right-footed shot from Lionel Messi slipped under his body during United’s defeat at the Nou Camp. Messi scored twice, and Philippe Coutinho added another goal, leading to United’s exit from the tournament in the quarter-finals.

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

Despite the team’s lack of blame directed at him, De Gea clearly bore the weight of the mistake 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 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.
