Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Madrid, David came through Atlético Madrid’s youth system. His first-team chance arrived in September 2009 when Roberto was injured against Porto. Still only 18, he followed that Champions League debut by saving a penalty in his first league appearance against Real Zaragoza.
The breakthrough.
He established himself in Atlético’s goal and helped win the 2009/10 Europa League and the 2010 UEFA Super Cup. A move to Manchester United followed in 2011. Across 12 seasons he made 545 appearances and kept 190 clean sheets, setting club records for a goalkeeper, and won the 2012/13 Premier League title.
A new chapter.
After leaving United in 2023 and spending a year away from competitive football, he joined Fiorentina in August 2024. His first season led to a new deal through June 2028. His own online world also stretches into esports: he founded Rebels Gaming in 2021, connecting his interest in games with professional competition and content.
