The future of Spanish goalkeeping is in extremely good hands.

David de Gea is by no means the only contender to be the long-term replacement for Iker Casillas in the Spanish goal, but his performance against Ukraine will have done his chances no harm whatsoever. The reigning European champions have booked their place at Euro 2016 and completed their qualifiers with a 1-0 victory. Whereas Thiago Alcantara and Isco demonstrated that the Spanish still boast plenty of attacking flair in their ranks, it was David de Gea's performance that really caught the eye. The Manchester United goalkeeper demonstrated his lightning reflexes on a number of occasions, pulling off the kind of saves that Premier League viewers have become used to in recent years. https://youtu.be/_clFuH_FQ48
