The 30-year-old is currently away with Spain as part of the ongoing international break and, during a training session in Madrid, his quick mind and fancy footwork led to a video going viral.
In the clip that De Gea shared via his official Instagram account, he exchanges passes with his legendary team-mate Sergio Ramos before side-footing a first-time pass directly through the legs of an onrushing opponent.
Naturally, as all football fans know, a nutmeg deserves recognition and especially in a fast-paced Rondo, so it is no surprise to hear loud cheers from the Spanish players following David’s moment of skill.
