Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has been practicing penalties with Spain.
De Gea missed from the spot in the Europa League final against Villarreal. He and fellow keepers, first choice Unai Simon, of Athletic Bilbao, and Brighton's Robert Sanchez have both taken kicks in the mock shoot-outs organised by coach Luis Enrique ahead of the last-16 meeting with Croatia.
Alvaro Morata had his shot saved by Slovakian keeper Martin Dubravka in Spain’s last group game. Prior to that Gerard Moreno hit the post from the spot against Poland in their second game. And before that Abel Ruiz had missed in Spain's last friendly before the Euros and Sergio Ramos had missed two consecutive kicks.
Ramos would usually be Spain's penalty taker and in the absence of the former Real Madrid defender Luis Enrique has identified four takers: Moreno, Morata, Sergio Busquets and Koke.
“We know there’s a list and we’ve got good penalty takers,” Busquets told Cadena Ser radio. “It’s just that we are on a bad run.” (Tribal Football)
