ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - Spain keeper Unai Simon said he has gone through a torturous process trying to comprehend his tremendous error against Croatia at Euro 2020 but showed gratitude to his team mates, including fellow keeper David de Gea, for lifting his spirits.
Simon, who replaced De Gea as Spain's number one keeper last year, let a Pedri backpass from around the halfway line bobble past him into the net to give Croatia a 1-0 lead in the epic last-16 game, which Spain went on to win 5-3 after extra time.
