David James, a former goalkeeper who made 863 club appearances during his playing career, highlighted an impressive feat by a Manchester City player during the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. James praised Ederson for his performance, particularly noting the penalty save he made against Luka Modric and the successful penalty he scored himself. He expressed disbelief at the power and accuracy with which Ederson side-footed the ball during the shootout.

Despite Kevin De Bruyne’s equalizing goal in the 76th minute, Manchester City could not secure a win within regular or extra time against Real Madrid. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Ederson demonstrated his quality by saving Modric’s first penalty and confidently scoring City’s final spot kick with his side foot. Ederson has previously stated that he believes himself to be the best penalty taker at the club, showcasing his confidence and ability in such situations.

With the potential for more penalty shootouts in the FA Cup semi-final and final, it will be interesting to see if Ederson continues to take part in these crucial moments for Manchester City. His performance against Real Madrid, as praised by David James, highlights his skill and composure under pressure, making him a valuable asset for the team in decisive situations.
