In an interview with FourFourTwo, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson expressed confidence in his side’s chances of finally winning the elusive UEFA Champions League, saying they possess the quality and the desire necessary to do so. However, he points out that he is not sure if he will get a trophy tattoo in commemoration of the victory.
City’s upcoming opponents, Inter Milan, are seen as underdogs to the mighty Manchester. However, Ederson points out that victory does not depend solely on the favourite tag. “It’s not always the best team that wins; it’s the one that knows how to navigate all of the different obstacles on the way to lifting the trophy,” he said.

Ederson confident in City’s chances
This will be a huge opportunity of redemption for City, who have fallen short all these years. The Brazilian goalkeeper addressed their recent frustrations, claiming the team is now more experienced and mature.
“That’s the only title the club has still to win – it’s been our main goal,” the Brazilian keeper added. “Needless to say, the team has improved a great deal over the past years, but that piece of silverware is missing from the trophy cabinet.”
The ultimate glory seems to be closer than ever for Manchester City. However, the job is not done yet, and history has taught the Citizens not to take anything for granted until it’s finally over. Now, Ederson and company hope to finally get their hands on this coveted European prize.
