Guardiola Names Ederson as City’s Best Player in Real Madrid Defeat
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has singled out goalkeeper Ederson as his team’s standout performer despite their 3-2 loss to Real Madrid in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff on Tuesday.
City took the lead through Erling Haaland, but Kylian Mbappe quickly pulled Madrid level.
Haaland restored the advantage from the penalty spot, only for Brahim Diaz to equalize in the 86th minute. In stoppage time, Jude Bellingham sealed the win for Madrid, giving them the edge going into the second leg.
Speaking after the match, Guardiola admitted it was a tough battle and praised Ederson for keeping City in the game.
“This is the fourth time we’ve played Madrid in a row, and in the previous three, we were much better. But today was different—they had their chances, and Ederson was our best player,” he said.
He also acknowledged that sometimes, a team can play well but not get the result they want.
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
