Ederson: Champions League success is Man City's main goal
2023-02-21 11:34
Manchester City are aiming to win their first Champions League trophy, goalkeeper Ederson said ahead of Wednesday 's last- 16 tie against RB Leipzig , adding that the elusive trophy is " what the club needs " .
City have never won Europe's elite club competition and were eliminated by eventual champions Real Madrid in the semi-finals last season and lost to Chelsea in the 2021 final .
Asked about City's aspirations to win the Champions League, Ederson told UEFA.com, " That's our main goal, the club's main goal. We've been trying to win titles and will continue to do so, " the Brazilian goalkeeper added.
" This year, we are fully capable of reaching the final and challenging for the title. We are a quality team and it shows how much the club has come in the last five or six years, winning the Premier League, the League Cup, the Football Total Cup, Community Shield Cup.
" This title is what the club needs, it's what our players need and what manager Pep Guardiola needs at the club. This year, we're going to try. We're pursuing it. "
City faced RB Leipzig in the last Champions League group stage and Ederson says the Premier League champions are well aware of the threat their German rivals pose.
" They are a good team with good players so we have to be ready. I hope we can play well but it won't be easy because there are no easy games in the Champions League," Ederson added .
