De Gea avoids the miracle of Roma

If Manchester United will be Villarreal's rival in the Europa League final, he owes much to David De Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper was the best in the Olympics against a Rome that was about to put the English in serious trouble, despite Old Trafford's 6-2.

Fonseca started with an unprecedented 4-2-3-1, almost as if he wanted to advance the rehearsals for the tactical project of Mourinho. Despite the casualties and the humiliation of leaving, the Italians started very well and made merits to get ahead. If they did not, it was due to lack of aim and, above all, for a monumental De Gea.

The Giallorossi, who extended their injured list with Smalling (replaced by the young Darboe in their European premiere in 30 ') they turned to the attack and, obviously, they left a lot of space for the Red Devils' counterattacks. Cavani forgave once with a Vaseline that touched the crossbar, but before the break he opened the can with a right hand receiving a vertical pass from Fred.

The 0-1 seemed the final sentence, but football is so incredible that even with a 7-2 between the round trips you can not be calm. Roma was unstoppable at the beginning of the restart. The giallorosso team put the tables with a header from Dzeko to a pass from Pedro and Cristante made it 2-1 with a shot from the edge of the box in 59 '. If the miraculous comeback did not come true, it was always thanks to De Gea, author of three miraculous interventions against Dzeko and Mkhitaryan in the next two minutes.

His stops ended the impetus of the Romans and Cavani, in 68 ', reassured his team by heading to the net an elegant cross by Bruno Fernandes. The Matador loves to score goals against the Romanisti: with this one, they are 13 in his entire career. In the last 20 minutes the Rome sought at least to end the tie with a victory and, after a shot to the post by Mkhitaryan, scored the 3-2 goal with Nicola Zalewski, 19-year-old team forward Spring, another that premiered today. De Gea's umpteenth paradón, this time against Cristante, closed a much more exciting night than expected. United took the pass to the final, the Italians are left with anger over the absurd second half of the first leg and pride in today's beautiful performance. TO Mourinho you will have liked it without any doubt.
