#3 David de Gea (Portugal v Spain)

Portugal v Spain: Group B - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
de Gea has made only one save in this World Cup

Spanish shot-stopper David de Gea has had a horrendous FIFA World Cup, which saw him conceding 6 goals amongst the 7 on-target shots he faced, thereby making a solitary save. The highly-rated Manchester United keeper committed the first major goalkeeping error in the tournament, that too, against Portugal.

In the 44th minute of a gut-wrenching tie that was evenly balanced at 1-1, Cristiano Ronaldo offered a shot that was going straight to De Gea. On other days, he would have collected the ball easily, but made a mess of it in the big match and saw the ball going into the net, giving Portugal a one-goal lead. The match finally ended 3-3.
