Man City can’t repeat mistakes of Chelsea defeats in UCL final – Ederson

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson says his side are ready to become champions of Europe, but warns they cannot repeat the mistakes of recent defeats against Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola’s side are already champions of England and are now looking to claim their first ever Champions League as they meet the Blues in Porto on Saturday.

City have lost twice to the London side in the past six weeks but Ederson says that counts for nothing now.

The Brazilian said: “Unfortunately in the last two confrontations against them we were defeated but I think we played well overall.

“Obviously we made mistakes that can’t happen in the final but I think the team is ready.

“If the team keeps playing the good football we have been playing over the last six months, I think we have a lot of chances to win the game.

“It was always my dream as a player to be able to play a Champions League final. I always worked hard to reach a moment like this.

“It’s very important for me to play a Champions League final because it feels I have achieved the goal I always set for myself.

“It’s just one game and anything can happen but I’m very happy for me and for the team for the moment we are living. I hope we can enjoy it and win the trophy.”
