You are now De greatest!

DAVID DE GEA is refusing to gloat at his snipers until Manchester United’s Champions League mission is complete.

The keeper, 22, was hailed as a hero on Wednesday after his super saves earned a 1-1 Champions League draw at Real Madrid.

But instead of turning on his critics, the Spaniard paid tribute to his team-mates for the first-leg result which gives United a great chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.

De Gea said: “I had played at the Bernabeu a few times before and it’s a very big stadium with so many people.

“But when you are down there on the pitch, you forget everything in the end.

“The party is not over, though. We are talking about Real Madrid, one of the world’s best. They still have to come to us.

“But it was a good result for us and one we deserved.

“Real came out strongly and threw everything at us. They gave us a bad time but the team knew how to react and defended well.

“In the end we had a bit more control of the ball, had chances and played a great game. We would have taken this result at the start.”
