Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham praises Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes

Bellingham defends Ederson after Jamie Carragher jokingly claims he is "not good enough"

Other players and pundits also laud Ederson for his exceptional skills

Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham has spoken out in praise of Manchester City No.1 Ederson Moraes, following a lighthearted comment made by Jamie Carragher on CBS Sports' YouTube channel. The Englishman defended the Brazilian shotstopper after Carragher joked that he was "not good enough", despite being widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Bellingham's endorsement adds to a growing list of admirers for Ederson, including former player Danny Murphy who hailed him as the best goalkeeper he has ever seen on the ball, and Heurelho Gomes who believes he should start over Alisson Becker for Brazil.

During an EA FC 24 Team of the Year discussion on CBS Sports, Micah Richards selected Alisson Becker as his dream pick in goal, prompting a lighthearted exchange with Carragher where they mentioned other potential choices before settling on their final selection. Despite this banter, it is clear that many recognize and appreciate Ederson's exceptional talent between the posts.

Ederson's impressive performances have not gone unnoticed among fans and pundits alike. His outstanding saves during crucial moments have solidified his reputation as one of Europe’s top modernday goalkeepers. Bernardo Silva also highlighted an incredible lastminute save against Inter Milan which will be remembered forever by Manchester City supporters.

Overall, there seems to be widespread agreement within football circles about just how special Ederson truly is – even if some may occasionally make jokes at his expense.
