MANCHESTER CITY keeper Ederson is desperate for Champions League glory — to avoid getting the hairdryer from his wife.
The Brazilian, 29, has been preparing to face RB Leipzig away in tomorrow’s first leg of their last-16 tie.

And if he makes a mistake, wife Lais will let him know when he gets home.
Ederson said: “When she thinks she must scold me, she does. When she feels like making a compliment, she does that.
“She is not the kind that goes, ‘Calm down, you’ll get it right in the next one’.
“Many times she goes, ‘You should have done that, you should not have done what you did, you should not have conceded that goal’. She helps me to see other aspects.”
The Champions League is the big prize that has evaded City since the Abu Dhabi takeover in 2008.
They have reached three semi-finals, one leading to a final in 2021 which they lost to Chelsea in Porto.
Now Ederson is determined those near misses are forgotten this season.
He added: “That’s the main objective of the club.
“We’re more than capable of getting to the final and challenging for the title. We’re coming after it.
“This title is what the club needs, it’s what we players need and it’s what Pep Guardiola needs here at the club, too. We’re going after it.”
And he believes getting Erling Haaland is the key.Ederson said: “He is a brilliant goalscorer.
“I hope he continues to score many goals and we’ll keep working together for all the titles.”
