<\/p>\n

Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea, was \u201cinconsolable\u201d after his howler saw Barcelona progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League, apologising to his teammates.<\/p>\n

De Gea had a game to forget on Tuesday night at Camp Nou, letting a tame effort from Lionel Messi squirm through his grasp and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

United had started the match well, but two goals from Messi in the space of four minutes gave the visitors a mountain to climb.<\/p>\n

According to The UK Sun, De Gea was furious with himself for the costly error and apologised to the rest of the team in the dressing room after the game.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard even claimed that he felt the side could have won the tie had he not made the mistake, with the side having needed just two goals to go through at that point.<\/p>\n

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sympathetic afterwards, saying: \u201cThat\u2019s unfortunate with goalkeepers. When you make an error it can get highlighted and that\u2019ll be remembered tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he made some fantastic saves as well, which all in all, his contribution to the team is good but sometimes that happens in football.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know when you get to this level you cannot slip up and you cannot make mistakes and you\u2019ve got to take the chances you get yourself. And we didn\u2019t capitalise on our great chance, but then they have their first two shots on target, that\u2019s two goals and game over.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
