Fiorentina is facing Milan in the seventh round of Serie A, but regardless of the outcome, the standout hero of the match is already clear.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea delivered an extraordinary performance, saving two penalties. The drama began when Milan was awarded a penalty, but Moise Kean failed to convert against Mike Maignan. Soon after, De Gea stepped up for Fiorentina, saving his team.
Just before halftime, Milan’s Theo Hernandez, celebrating his 27th birthday, couldn’t get past De Gea. Early in the second half, De Gea once again came to Fiorentina’s rescue, pulling off a brilliant save from the penalty spot, denying a shot from Tammy Abraham.
Interestingly, this isn’t De Gea’s first penalty save this season. During the UEFA Conference League shootout against Puskas Akademia, the Spaniard also saved a crucial shot, helping Fiorentina advance to the main tournament.
