After the Europa League final defeat, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has now failed to save 40 consecutive penalties.

Villarreal defeated United in a penalty shootout 11-10 on Wednesday night, with De Gea missing the decisive spotkick.

De Gea last saved a penalty for either Manchester United or Spain in April 2016, when he stopped a spotkick from Everton's Romelu Lukaku in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Since then, the Spanish goalkeeper has not saved a single penalty.

In regular matches, as many as 25 penalties in a row have passed the goalkeeper, and if you include Spain's loss on penalty kicks against Russia in the 2018 World Cup, he had conceded 29 penalties in a row before Wednesday's Europa League final.
