There was a feeling on Sunday that De Gea could now become the first-choice goalkeeper for Spain. Long-serving and legendary custodian was on the substitutes' bench, having come under severe criticism for some high-profile errors in recent months.
De Gea, though, is not thinking that far ahead and revealed that the Real Madrid star had congratulated him for his performance against Luxembourg.
