Premier League champion David de Gea came to the defense of Antonín Kinsky, and was replaced after just 16 minutes of play.
Currently at Fiorentina, the Spaniard spoke about the situation for X during the round of 16, while Atlético de Madrid beat their old English rival 5-2.
“Nobody who has never been a goalkeeper can understand how difficult it is to play in this position. Keep your head up and you will do it again,” he wrote, without directly mentioning the Czech.
What happened to Kinsy at Champions?
Kinsy’s first mistake was for Atleti’s first goal, in the fifth minute. The goalkeeper received a pass in the fire and did poorly. Lookman was smart to recover, and passed it to Julián Álvares. Llorente received the pass and finished strongly in the corner.

Faced with a rout, in the 16th minute, Igor Tudor decided to change the team, and Kinsy gave way to Vicario as goalkeeper, who has been playing as a starter this season.
