Ederson is hailed as 'the best ball-playing goalkeeper in the world' after his superb lofted pass helped set up Man City's opener in Champions League semi-final vs PSG with fans calling the Brazilian a 'cheat code'

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson caused more than a few jaws to drop after his sensational long-range pass helped set up Riyad Mahrez's opener in their Champions League semi-final against PSG.

The Brazilian is known for his ability with the ball and being comfortable spraying passes around for Pep Guardiola's possession-focused team, but his beautiful pinged ball forward left social media in a frenzy as he superbly picked out Alesksandr Zinchenko on the left flank.

The Ukranian left-back found Kevin de Bruyne in the centre, whose shot was blocked and rebounded to Mahrez, who was left with a golden opportunity to slot home and put City 3-1 up on aggregate in their crucial European clash.
