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.

Bruno Fernandes Says Man United Are Lazy and Need Better Players

Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes didn’t hold back after their 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League Summer Series, calling out his teammates for being “a little lazy” on the pitch.
Fernandes gave United the lead with a penalty, but Everton quickly hit back through Iliman Ndiaye. Mason Mount then curled in a second for United, only for the Toffees to level again when Amad Diallo accidentally deflected the ball into his own net during a defensive mix-up.
Speaking after the game, Fernandes admitted the team wasn’t at their best. “We were a bit lazy today,” he said. “And when you’re lazy, it can cost you.”
He also stressed the need for reinforcements ahead of the new season, saying United need more depth and quality in the squad. “We clearly need more competition,” Fernandes said. “Better players push everyone to improve, and I think that’s what the club is working on.”
