Ally McCoist believes that the gap between Manchester City goalkeepers Ederson and Stefan Ortega is smaller than previously thought, considering Ortega’s recent performances. Ortega impressed in City’s recent games, including a draw against Real Madrid where he conceded three goals, none of which were his fault. McCoist suggests that Ortega has made a case to keep his position, despite Ederson being Guardiola’s preferred choice.

City’s goalkeeping department is considered one of the strongest in the world, with very little drop-off from Ederson to Ortega. While Ederson is known for his distribution, Ortega’s passing is also commendable, with the only notable difference being a slightly slower pace on the ball. Ortega has performed well as a backup goalkeeper and discussions about a potential new contract for him are ongoing, with hopes that he will stay at the club.

Being a number two goalkeeper can be challenging, but Ortega has proven himself capable of stepping up when needed. Despite talks of his potential departure, it would be a loss for City to see him leave, as he provides reliable backup to Ederson and maintains a high level of performance when called upon. The competition between Ederson and Ortega highlights the depth and strength of Manchester City’s squad in the goalkeeping position.
