Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias have been reflecting on their favourite moments at Manchester City – where Ederson received a shoutout.
The Portuguese duo were speaking on Manchester City’s official website.
So, what did Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva say about Ederson? Let’s take a look…
What’s the story?
Well, the Brazil international’s stunning display in the UEFA Champions League final clearly had quite the impact.
When asked to pick their favourite save from Ederson, Dias and Silva struggled to choose just one of the South American’s many stops against Inter Milan in Istanbul as Manchester City recorded a famous 1-0 win, before ultimately settling on his exceptional save from Romelu Lukaku’s effort.
The Manchester City No.20 said: “That last one. When you (Dias) took it out with your head. I thought that was a goal to be honest. It was a special moment for all of us, for the club, and for him (Ederson) to have stepped up on a moment like that, it will obviously stay with us forever.”
Revisiting stunning Ederson performance for Manchester City in UEFA Champions League final
It speaks volumes that Silva and Dias are still talking about Ederson’s UEFA Champions League final performance in October – it really was that impressive.
As SofaScore shows, the £34.7m glovesman made five saves against Inter Milan, officially preventing 1.17 expected goals from the Italian giants.
All five of those saves came from shots inside the box, while Ederson also made one high claim too.
In regards to his footwork, the 30-year-old completed seven long range passes, taking 40 touches in total.
The Brazilian was actually Manchester City’s highest rated player on SofaScore with an 8.1 match rating.
Of course, Rodri took the spotlight after scoring the game’s only goal, but there is no denying that Ederson truly saved Manchester City from heartbreak back in May.
