Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has opened up on his bizarre superstition as he revealed he has been wearing same boxers on matchday for eight years.
Undoubtedly one of the best in his position, Ederson has won every major trophy with Manchester City since joining the club in 2017 from Benfica. The Brazilian international has now opened up on his bizarre superstition as he claimed that he has been wearing the same boxers on every matchday for the last eight seasons.
Speaking on BBC MOTD, the custodian said, “I have only one superstition. I play every game in the same boxers. Eight years the same boxers.” The interviewer then asked: “They must be in, not good shape?” Ederson then replied, “No!” and burst into laughter.
Despite his great form since signing for Man City, the 2024-25 campaign has been one of the worst of Ederson’s eight-year spell at the Etihad Stadium.
Ederson has lost the total confidence of manager Pep Guardiola, with backup Stefan Ortega often receiving the nod in some of their bigger games. The 31-year-old has been linked with a move away from the club in the summer as the Cityzens are eyeing a move for FC Porto’s Diogo Costa.
