Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega was the standout performer in a narrow 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, making 5 saves and helping to keep a clean sheet. Fans were quick to praise his performance on social media, with many saying City should keep him as the backup to Ederson.
Statistically, Ortega has been better than Ederson this season with a higher save ratio and superior goals conceded compared to expected goals faced. Despite this, Ederson remains Guardiola’s first choice. Ortega’s contract with City is set to expire in June 2025, and he has hinted at leaving for more regular playing time.
City faces a tough decision in keeping Ortega at the club, as he has proven himself to be a reliable backup keeper. Fans appreciate his contributions and believe he is deserving of a spot in the starting lineup, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for the talented goalkeeper.
