Watch out, Ederson: Casemiro can capitalize on Man City keeper’s vulnerability for staying out of his goal

06 July 2020, 13:50

Casemiro might’ve learnt a loophole to score against fellow countryman Ederson when Real Madrid meet Man City in the Champions League next month.
The City goalkeeper was caught way out from his goalline for Che Adams’ goal from a long way out during his side’s 0-1 loss to Southampton at the weekend.

Casemiro tried something similar taking a cheeky long-range attempt from the half-way line against Espanyol when he caught David Lopez off his line.

That was saved, but the Brazilian could now take a few similar chances in the second-leg at the Etihad Stadium next month.
City’s possession-based style means Ederson will come out from his line and Casemiro’s accuracy could create something special in the next leg.
Madrid are currently trailing City 1-2 in the Round of 16 tie and need a win in order to progress into the quarter-finals, from which point it’ll be a single-legged knockout tournament.
