If we only look at the games vs top teams.
De Gea (EL and cups)
- FA Cup SF 19/20 | Lost 1-3 Chelsea
- EFL Cup SF2 19/20 | Won 1-0 City
- EFL Cup SF1 19/20 | Lost 3-1 City
- FA Cup Final 17/18 | Lost 0-1 Chelsea
- FA Cup SF 17/18 | Won 2-1 Spurs
- FA Cup 16/17 | Lost 0-1 Chelsea
- EFL Cup 16/17 | Won 1-0 City
- EL 15/16 | Lost 0-2 Liverpool
- EL 15/16 | Drew 1-1 Liverpool
^ If we include CL, then his record will look a lot worse.
Only included up until 15/16, the time Romero first joined so the teammates they played with are similar.
Romero (all competitions)
- EFL Cup 19/20 | Won 2-1 Chelsea
- FA Cup 18/19 | Won 3-1 Arsenal
- FA Cup 18/19 | Won 2-0 Chelsea
- EL Final 16/17 | Won 2-0 Ajax
- PL 15/16 | Won 1-0 Spurs
That's a creepy stat.
The scoreline margin might suggest the games we won is more likely meant we won it comfortably with Romero than with De Gea.
We also know Romero's impressive good records in EL, FA Cup and EFL Cup against the rest of the mid-table and weak teams.
