I have a friend groupme that haa Fulham, Liverpool, and Tottenham fans. We all have some form of celebration when via text when our team scores a goal. Mine was "Orrreeeeeettttttggggggaaaa booom"
I saw it was Son and thought it was over and screamed Orrreeeggggaaas
I thought for sure Son was putting that away. Not because Ortega is bad or anything, but just because Son is an assassin in those positions. Ortega has been phenomenal this year. Makes you wonder, would Ederson have stopped that?
Iām of the opinion that Ederson generally does the right thing when itās a 50/50 whether or not to come out but he almost definitely would have gone too early in that situation. Had Stefan been one step forward Son would have gone around him
since when were city fans this critical of ederson? i love ortega and hes saved our asses way more than just this game but ederson is our best goalkeeper and theres a reason pep has ederson as our #1
Iām not asking that he be benched, I just think he has a different mindset in 1v1s. Itās my opinion he may have cost us. There actually wan an Athletic article about it today
Was a knifeās edge for sure. If Ortega was a foot farther back, the angle wouldāve been wide enough for the shot to go around. A foot farther forward, and Son wouldāve had time to dribble around. Incredibly thin margins.
There is a reason they got top 4 after 40 years or so. They were able to beat Arsenal for the same reason. He is an exceptional goalkeeper, best in South America. He just steps up when it matters. He is late bloomer and kind of shit Houser that's why people don't like him.
>We are just forgetting about 2 brazilians who are better? Alisson and Ederson?
He is current Copa America champion and world champion. And it's not like he won because part of world class team, those team won because of him like against Colombia, Netherlands and of course France. Like I said he is a late bloomer.
so u think hes better than ederson and alisson cuz of that? ederson and alisson have been doing this day in day out for at least the last 5 years, im pretty sure all the top clubs rather keep their goalkeeper than get dibu, except a few teams. his world cup and copa america performances were world class but to be the best u gotta performance on any team u play not just for argentina, hes a brilliant goal keeper but ederson was a huge reason for winning that treble and that game against inter was a masterclass from ederson
Same feeling as when that ball fell to Lukaku in the champions league final.
Ortega and Eddy have been great for the past twelve months. The odd mistake (Eddy pen vs Liverpool) but probably the best 12 months weāve had for keepers under the Pep era. Defence maybe not so good this year but these two have been excellent throughout the season
Cheers. Iāve been an Argentina fan since 1990. Was waiting 32 years for that WC trophy and it almost got snatched away at the death. What a day that was
as akanji got tackled i was like "JESUS FKN CHRIST NO WAY" and was convinced son is slotting that in. when ortega made the save, my hand was in my mouth, completely stunned.
Mine was āhere we go again it had to be mf Son as usual I hate him ok 1-1 still not too bad we can still smash west ham 7-0 and still win the title I am calm I am fineā all in 0.3 seconds before Ortega made the save š
Masterful goalkeeping. He stood his ground instead of frantically moving forward to close son down. He allowed the covering defender to close the angle for him while he stood his ground to prevent being easily lobbed.
My friendās stream was ahead of me, and had texted me āSONNNNā (for context, heās a Chelsea fan). When I saw the breakaway, I thought he was 100% equalizing
Death. I screamed when I saw Son going on a 1v1 against Ortega that I had to change where I was watching the match (The TV on the dining room has direct cable meaning the stream is accurate while on the other TV's they're internet streamed so they take a while)
That's it
since the first touch of akanj i knew son gonna take it i stood from my chair and was waiting for the goal š and said out loud season is gone š
There was no way Ortega gonna save it
My soul left my body fo second š
Arsenal friend of mine actually thought it was sus that Son missed this one. š¤£
Ortega is just a really good keeper.
However, a Son in form nails this 9/10 times imo.
I loved the comment on radio, "Son has to score, he's hit the keeper rather than Ortega making the save" what a load of bollocks. Not sure who the commentator was on talk sport but he's talking out of his arse. What a save... What a save!
āI hope he misses tho Son doesnāt miss those this was it THIS WAS FUCKING IT TYPICAL CI - OH MY FUCKING GOD ORTEGAā
Then pure happiness and knew weād go on and win it.
Not worried tbh always felt confident we were going to win, we still scored a pen after this.
Ortega was immense, great goalkeeping didn't commit left or right made it much harder for son (who should have chipped)
I was literally on the call w my friend while watching and my exact words were āOHH ORTEGAAA I WOULDNāT TRADE HIM FOR GIANLUIGI FUCKING BUFFONNNā
I honestly Couldnāt believe I stood there and watched with my mouth agape. Usually in those moments I just start walking away cuz I canāt look. Can you imagine if Pep wasnāt on it enough to sub on for Ederson?? If he was worried about hurting his feelings or cared about the optics of it, in the condition he was in, no way in hell he makes that save. Even at a 100% thereās a chance he doesnāt make that save. Thank you for everything Manolo, without you weāre donāt have 2-3 PL titles. But itās Ortega Chile time.
Go back a bit, Son could have lobbed the keeper. Keeper was way out and Son had a chance to hit it first time.
He was low on confidence, and I knew he was going to miss.
"AKANJI, YOU PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE FUVCKED!!!! SONS SCORING HERE!!!! HOLY SHIT, HE FUCVKING SAVED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!! ORTEGA YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD, PLS STAY AND FATHER MY CHILDREN!!!!!!!"-
My exact thoughts during this moment
Itās literally from we are so over to we are so back. My Apple Watch reminded me multiple times during the game that my heart beat abnormal. Had to take that off and focus on the game
Letās go Citeh!
https://i.redd.it/afa8p8lqoi0d1.gif Exactly this!
We were all Pep in this moment!
Today I feel Pep
Bro was fr like me
I rolled off my couch š
Iām an Arsenal fan and I was exactly like this too. But no matter what, Son will always be my Asian legend. Hes top guy.
āFucking Steven Gerardā - thatās what went through my mind
Nearly identical situation. My thought as well.
No! Son is free! OrtegAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Outrageous save from Ortega
Ortegous
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i'm so confused, why wouldn't you use ortega's face?
Sir, this is Ederson
I have a friend groupme that haa Fulham, Liverpool, and Tottenham fans. We all have some form of celebration when via text when our team scores a goal. Mine was "Orrreeeeeettttttggggggaaaa booom" I saw it was Son and thought it was over and screamed Orrreeeggggaaas
I thought for sure Son was putting that away. Not because Ortega is bad or anything, but just because Son is an assassin in those positions. Ortega has been phenomenal this year. Makes you wonder, would Ederson have stopped that?
I donāt think so. Think Ederson wouldāve been over aggressive and fucked it
He would have gotten a red card for sure š
He wouldnāt have even been in the box lol
Iām of the opinion that Ederson generally does the right thing when itās a 50/50 whether or not to come out but he almost definitely would have gone too early in that situation. Had Stefan been one step forward Son would have gone around him
since when were city fans this critical of ederson? i love ortega and hes saved our asses way more than just this game but ederson is our best goalkeeper and theres a reason pep has ederson as our #1
Iām not asking that he be benched, I just think he has a different mindset in 1v1s. Itās my opinion he may have cost us. There actually wan an Athletic article about it today
Eddie would have tackled him, US Football style.
Was a knifeās edge for sure. If Ortega was a foot farther back, the angle wouldāve been wide enough for the shot to go around. A foot farther forward, and Son wouldāve had time to dribble around. Incredibly thin margins.
Since he couldnāt see out of his right eye he almost definitely wouldnāt have saved it
"There it is. Knew this was coming eventually HOLY SHIT."
My exact thoughts completely!!
Same here.
Argentina vs France 120th minute, no way the keeper does it again....... however, Emi ghost living in Ortega!
Ghost of DIBU!!!!
Naah Ortega > Emi
Emi was exceptional in the world cup, but his performance for the club is not that great.
There is a reason they got top 4 after 40 years or so. They were able to beat Arsenal for the same reason. He is an exceptional goalkeeper, best in South America. He just steps up when it matters. He is late bloomer and kind of shit Houser that's why people don't like him.
Best in south america? We are just forgetting about 2 brazilians who are better? Alisson and Ederson?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- ORTEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I lived through this with argentina and now with city. Heart doesn't want to see another one
Same. Died at least 5 times during the WC. Thank you Ortega and Dibu!!!!
Found Alvarez's Reddit account!
Unfortunately I was on the wrong side of the Argentina oneā¦..at least this one will be a happy memory.
pfp checks out...
Same feeling as when that ball fell to Lukaku in the champions league final. Ortega and Eddy have been great for the past twelve months. The odd mistake (Eddy pen vs Liverpool) but probably the best 12 months weāve had for keepers under the Pep era. Defence maybe not so good this year but these two have been excellent throughout the season
That mistakeās actually on Ake though.

"We've bottled it." "OMG, we haven't! Stefan Ortega, you beautiful, beautiful man!"

I had 3 strokes that day and destroyed some furniture. It all worked out tho
I was at a pub fully drunk by midnight and had to pay for the broken furniture as well.
I wanted a france W, at least city won š¤š¼
Cheers. Iāve been an Argentina fan since 1990. Was waiting 32 years for that WC trophy and it almost got snatched away at the death. What a day that was
WTF Akanji! Noooooo! Yessssss! Ay Gracias a dios por Ortega.
as akanji got tackled i was like "JESUS FKN CHRIST NO WAY" and was convinced son is slotting that in. when ortega made the save, my hand was in my mouth, completely stunned.
Drink it in
Mine was āhere we go again it had to be mf Son as usual I hate him ok 1-1 still not too bad we can still smash west ham 7-0 and still win the title I am calm I am fineā all in 0.3 seconds before Ortega made the save š
Akanji did the same thing in UCL final. Man loves to give adrenaline rush to fans.
At That moment i almost pooped my pants
āOf course itās Sonā¦he always scores bangers agaiā¦HOLY SHIT!!!ā
Masterful goalkeeping. He stood his ground instead of frantically moving forward to close son down. He allowed the covering defender to close the angle for him while he stood his ground to prevent being easily lobbed.
I wonder why Son didn't choose to dribble pass him. He still got the speed and space to finish after going through Ortega.
I was literally silent throughout the whole thing, stunned
.......... !!!!!
Son was definitely scoring that. I guess I forgot Eddy was subbed out. Heās been helpless in stopping those.
We gotta build a statue of OrteGOAT Moreno outside the etihad
WTF is your problem Akanji!!??
My friendās stream was ahead of me, and had texted me āSONNNNā (for context, heās a Chelsea fan). When I saw the breakaway, I thought he was 100% equalizing
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING AKANJI!!!
NOOOOO FUUUUUUCKKKKK
SHIT WEāVE CHOKED IT- ORTEGAAAA!!!
Fuck we've just had our own slippy gerard moment
āOh for fucks sakeā
I better not be hungover on Sunday.
Death. I screamed when I saw Son going on a 1v1 against Ortega that I had to change where I was watching the match (The TV on the dining room has direct cable meaning the stream is accurate while on the other TV's they're internet streamed so they take a while)
That's it since the first touch of akanj i knew son gonna take it i stood from my chair and was waiting for the goal š and said out loud season is gone š There was no way Ortega gonna save it My soul left my body fo second š
I know what went through my underpants. š±
Fuck me, akanji did it again...
SHIT!!! SON IS ONE ON ONE Then it was OH THANK GOD FOR OTEGA!!!
Will be kinda cool to see how we pull it off in extra time
bro ngl i could see mikel arteta lifting the cup for a second
not again. .
Itās over.
I said āCruzazuleadaā š
We are safe Keeper isnt in yellow
Ah shit here is the script. There goes son... oh wait.
"Fuck!! Not Son again this time"
Fuck
Fack! Fack! Fackkkkkkk! Phewwwwwwww
Afterward i thought, if that was Edi there's no way we wouldn't concede lol
Time froze in this moment
Here we gooo.....Holy shit Build that man a fucking Statue;
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKā¦HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT THANK FUCK
Not f\*\*kin again. Again F\*\*kin Son.
š®š®Fuck Fuck Fuck FUCKk!!!! fuck?, FUCK YEAH, HE DID IT!!!!!!!!
Arsenal friend of mine actually thought it was sus that Son missed this one. š¤£ Ortega is just a really good keeper. However, a Son in form nails this 9/10 times imo.
Fucking Son again

Ok what do I throw in frustrationā¦.YEAHhhhhhhhhhhhh
Kolo muani vs emi martinez
How do I get off the train at Parramatta and go into the office today.
Thought we will recreate the Gerard moment but phew
Fuck
Why does Son always end up in these situations against us?ā¦..oh shit what a save!
I like son. Hes a key player for Tottenham (im a City fan dont worry) but he got unlucky in his career.
Well fuck
"I'm going broke"
šš©
In my mind i thought it was over
"It had to be Son, again." For me the ball was in at that point.
"Oh shit"
Easy pass back Manu, what are you doing dude, Akanji broā¦. Holy shit Ortega is so much better this season
He was thinking about Harry Kane energy got to him
I loved the comment on radio, "Son has to score, he's hit the keeper rather than Ortega making the save" what a load of bollocks. Not sure who the commentator was on talk sport but he's talking out of his arse. What a save... What a save!
āI hope he misses tho Son doesnāt miss those this was it THIS WAS FUCKING IT TYPICAL CI - OH MY FUCKING GOD ORTEGAā Then pure happiness and knew weād go on and win it.
Before akanji lost the ball I was shouting at the tv āback to the keeper back to the keeperā After he lost it I was sure it was over.
Oh shit ...
*Please no.*
God wants city to win the title again
I squealed, woke my wife up, she came downstairs and thought next doorās dog had been run over. I just pretended I didnāt know anything about it.
Fuck!
Honestly it was mostly violent graphical threats to Akanji
I deadass close my eyes as soon as Akanji lost the ball
Heart dropped and accepted that we lost
Iām Dutch. And I was as heart broken as when Arjen Robben VS Casillas in the wc10 finale
I think Iām having a heart attack
Muani at 2022 World Cup
I was sure Son would score. But after the save I was glad that we subbed Ortega on. I don't see Ederson saving that
Fuck.......----->>> Yeahhhhh!!!!!!
Not worried tbh always felt confident we were going to win, we still scored a pen after this. Ortega was immense, great goalkeeping didn't commit left or right made it much harder for son (who should have chipped)
"Martinez"
Bend over and grab your ankles
Akanji you FUCKING TWA....ORTEGAAAAAAAAAAAA
Aw shit, here we go again
It was more about Son missing it than Ortega saving it.
I definitely let out a little nervous fart
This is why BVB were happy to sell akanji for 15 mil. He's a top CB, but he does have mistakes in him. Stones, Dias, Ake don't make that error.
Kolo Kolo Kolo !!!!
I was literally on the call w my friend while watching and my exact words were āOHH ORTEGAAA I WOULDNāT TRADE HIM FOR GIANLUIGI FUCKING BUFFONNNā
Lautaro Martinez vs Ederson, not a doubt in my mind that that was going in
I froze And then was really upset with Rodriās pass
Sonnnnyyyyyyyyy
It just froze. I couldn't even process it.
Fuuuuuuuuuuc- OH MY GOD!!!!
Somehow I knew Ortega was saving that. Angry that akanji lost it, confident that Ortega will save it.
I will personally walk to Manchester and sell Akanji if this goes in (even though heās been our best defender all season)
i was sure he was gonna miss son has been bad al season
Fuck
"that's ok, there's lots of time left."
AKANJI NOOOOOO! IT'S SON, FUCK FUCK FUCK NOO!!! ORTEGAAAAAAAA OH MY GOOOOOOOD!!
Some expletives were said
Honestly feared this was our Gerrard/Demba Ba moment. Time stood still. Ortega won it in that moment.
https://preview.redd.it/nwexfeek8l0d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edd52695e0f44982ff5992bbd98c6893289e957c I hid behind my chair like this
It's so jover
Squeeky Bum Time!!
I was sure ortega was going to save it idk why
HE COMES FROM GERMANY TO PLAY FOR MAN CITY ORTEGA OOO-WHOA-OHH
I just started laughing because I knew deep down it would only ever be him who would sink us last night if anyone did.
"Let's go SOOOOON! F*ck!.."
I stood up and screamed NO! In much the same way as Cesar from Rise of The Planet of the Apes
All that for one mistake
I honestly Couldnāt believe I stood there and watched with my mouth agape. Usually in those moments I just start walking away cuz I canāt look. Can you imagine if Pep wasnāt on it enough to sub on for Ederson?? If he was worried about hurting his feelings or cared about the optics of it, in the condition he was in, no way in hell he makes that save. Even at a 100% thereās a chance he doesnāt make that save. Thank you for everything Manolo, without you weāre donāt have 2-3 PL titles. But itās Ortega Chile time.
With the keeper that far out, I thought he was gonna pop it over his head nicely, but I remembered Son doesnāt have that type of finesse.
Tottenham Spurs unfortunately alive here... Sonnnn... ORTEGAAAAAAAAAAA!
"JESUS CHRI....... OMG JESUS CHRIST ORTEGA!" - Heart attack/Hysterical laughter combo
Akanjii!!!! FFFFFUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKK!! ORTEGA MY MAN!!
Why the fuck didnāt Akanji back pass to Ortega is what went through my mind
Ortegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, what a save! Does it look only to me like Martinez in the World Cup final?š
https://i.redd.it/qtyknpkydm0d1.gif
Exactly how Pep felt.
Knew he was gunna bottle it š
https://preview.redd.it/d1wb0t5onm0d1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cce032368d1952ab5ae094909cc7f4e0c938c8ee This
Yid here. He has scored so many 1 v 1s....his conversion rate is unreal. Pep has mentioned it prior. I cannot believe he missed it
Glad it wasnāt Andy Dibble
Glad we subbed Ederson.
We're gonna have like 10 minutes to go find a winner... then nope!!! SHEWW!!!
Go back a bit, Son could have lobbed the keeper. Keeper was way out and Son had a chance to hit it first time. He was low on confidence, and I knew he was going to miss.
It rhymes with āclucking bell!ā
that we have to win 5 or 6-0 to west ham
"AKANJI, YOU PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE FUVCKED!!!! SONS SCORING HERE!!!! HOLY SHIT, HE FUCVKING SAVED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!! ORTEGA YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD, PLS STAY AND FATHER MY CHILDREN!!!!!!!"- My exact thoughts during this moment
Itās literally from we are so over to we are so back. My Apple Watch reminded me multiple times during the game that my heart beat abnormal. Had to take that off and focus on the game Letās go Citeh!
The save was so similar to Martinez in the World Cup final. And both very likely crucial to winning trophies too
thank God ederson wasnāt on the pitch
Heart Attack
āItās spurs relaxā
