Manchester City goalkeeper makes mistakes repeatedly!

In the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals, Premier League giants Manchester City lost to Saudi giants Riyadh New Moon 3-4. The game was held in Orlando, USA on the morning of July 1. Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson's sluggish performance became the focus of the game, and a large number of Manchester City fans called on the club to sell it this summer.

Ederson was criticized by the whole game and performed far inferior to his opponent's goalkeeper

. Ederson was scored four times in total and made only two effective saves, which was in sharp contrast to the brave performance of opponent's goalkeeper Eusini Bunu. Bunu contributed up to 10 wonderful saves throughout the game, trying to ensure the goal was not lost many times, becoming a key figure in Riyadh's New Moon victory. After the game, Ederson's name quickly became a hot social media search. A large number of Manchester City fans expressed their dissatisfaction with him on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter): One fan wrote: "Is Ederson too bad, or is Riyadh's crescent shot too accurately? I chose the former." Another commented: "Ederson proves why Manchester City should consider changing goalkeepers this summer."

Someone bluntly said: "We need Diogo Costa. As long as Ederson is still the main player, it will be difficult for Manchester City to compete for the championship. Sell him now."

Continuous mistakes triggered a crisis of trust

In fact, this is not the first time Ederson has "turned over" in this tournament. On June 27, in the group stage between Manchester City and Juventus, he made a major mistake:

He sent the ball directly to Juventus player Tyne Kuppmenas when he passed the ball on the edge of the penalty area. The Dutch midfielder took a shot without hesitation, and the ball was in a dead corner, and Ederson did not respond.

Although Ederson said in an interview that he still loves Manchester City and wants to play for the team for a long time, fans have obviously lost confidence in him. They worry that as they get older, the Brazilian goal is no longer stable, and frequent low-level mistakes may affect the team's prospects for championships.

Manchester City considers introducing Costa to replace Ederson

According to multiple media reports, Manchester City executives are seriously considering signing Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa from Porto to find a potential replacement for Ederson.

Although Ederson has been one of the most stable guarantees of Manchester City's defense in the past few seasons, his recent performance undoubtedly casts a shadow on his future. For a giant who is determined to compete for the Champions League and Premier League double championships, the stability of the goalkeeper's position is crucial.
