Just three days prior, De Gea made his Fiorentina debut in the Conference League against Puskas Akademia of Hungary, when he gave up two goals early on. The game concluded in a 3-3 draw, and this Thursday is the second leg. Fiorentina’s advancement to the league stage of this season’s competition is guaranteed with a win.
