Critics fell on Guardiola when fans and journalists learned that Ederson had cost the stunned £ 34.7 million, an amount of money never paid before for a goalkeeper to a Portuguese team like the Benfica.

Looking at what he did this season, Ederson was actually one of the most undervalued player on the transfer market last season.

The arrival of Ederson was a relief for Claudio Bravo, since Claudio could feel relaxed in case of suffering an injury, Ederson was going to cover him and play at the same level that Bravo had at that moment.

Ederson was also fighting to be the goalkeeper and continues to do so since his arrival at City.

The season for Ederson was almost perfect. The goalkeeper managed to save a penalty against Crystal Palace and has not received any penalty goal in the remainder of the season, 19 goals allowed and 43 goals saved, always above the average established in the Premier League.

Mane’s red card 

The Liverpool player helped Manchester City a lot. It was all caused by the red card that Sadio Mane received for the hard foul against the goalkeeper of Manchester City.

It was a foul so hard that the red card was not objected by any Liverpool player. Klopp knew it was the end of the match for the Reds.

Sadio Mane with his boot not only caused a knockout to Ederson, but his team Liverpool also suffered a heavy blow, because with Mane out of the team, Liverpool would be left with a huge absence on the field.

Manchester City players took advantage to score more goals. In fact, before the departure of Mane the Citizens were leading 1-0 and they had problems to score other goals. After this red card, City scored 4 goals to finally win 5-0 against a direct opponent.
