Only one player from this Manchester City who will be looking for his first Champions League against Inter this Saturday has ever won this trophy and, amazingly, he did it wearing the shirt of one of the ‘citizen’s’ great rivals, the Liverpool. To make matters worse, no less than the Atatürk stadium in Istanbul, the scene of tomorrow’s final.
It treats Scott Carson, of 37 years, currently the third goalkeeper of Manchester City and a valued person in his changing room. The veteran goalkeeper played for Liverpool between 2005 and 2008 and lifted the Champions League with the ‘reds’ in the so-called ‘miracle of Istanbul’ final, the Anfield team’s historic comeback against Milan on May 25, 2005 (2 -3). on penalties after 3-3). At halftime, Milan led 3-0.
Carson was then a substitute goalkeeper for Liverpool (with Jerzy Dudek as starting goalkeeper and hero of that legendary final) and on the ‘citizen’ bench now lives that memorable game, one of the most memorable , if not the most, in history. of the Champions League finals.
Carson arrived at City in the summer of 2019, on loan from Derby County, and became the owner of the Etihad club’s property in 2021. At the age of 37, the English goalkeeper renewed on May 26 until 2024 .
No other Manchester City player has ever won the Champions League and the current squad has 13 survivors from the 2020-21 final defeat against Chelsea, including Ilkay Gündogan, Rodri, Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Ederson and John Stones .
Gundogan lost two Champions League finals: with City in 2020-21 and with Borussia Dortmund against Bayern in 2012-13.
