Pep Guardiola grimaced and raised a hand over his eyes, his reaction - a mixture of bemusement and relief - captured on camera during Manchester City's 3-1 win over Red Star Belgrade.
He had just watched his goalkeeper, Ederson, sprint off his line and pull off an audacious Cruyff turn to evade striker Osman Bukari some 30 yards out. Even by his standards, this was high-risk.
Not that Ederson saw it that way. "I didn't think it was a risk," he tells Sky Sports with a grin. It is the morning after and, back at the club's training ground, he is wondering what the fuss was about.
"It was just a way of escaping pressure," he continues. "As I came out of my goal, the striker came to close me down on my left side, so that touch with my heel was one of the options I had.

For City, his saves are often few and far between, such is their capacity to smother opponents. But the West Ham game was just one of many lately in which he has made vital interventions.
Last season, he kept the best until the very last, hauling City to the treble with his dramatic reflex stops from Romelu Lukaku and Robin Gosens late in the Champions League final against Inter Milan.
Was that heady, historic night in Istanbul the highlight of his career so far? Ederson pauses and puffs out his cheeks. There are, after all, a fair few of them for him to consider.
"Honestly, last season is difficult to describe. To be able to win so many titles, only one team in England had ever done that before and that was Manchester United many years ago.
That is no easy feat given the ludicrous standards Ederson has already set with his distribution. But recent evidence suggests he is taking on an even more influential role in City's build-up this season.
Having attempted roughly 27 passes per 90 minutes across the previous six campaigns, he is now averaging 43. At times, he has even been seen stepping into City's defensive line.

"Of course, I really enjoy it," Ederson says of the added responsibility. "It depends a lot on the game. For example, against Burnley [on the opening day of the season], they are a team who press and mark man-to-man, so the free man in our team was me, the goalkeeper.
"We made a build-up where I was able to step up and play almost as a third centre-back, to help the ball come out from the back.
Sep 22, 2023 · After a magnificent haul of trophies in his first six seasons in Manchester, Ederson is still eager to continue winning. “It’s as if this were my first season, the ambition is always the same. We’ll try to win every competition that we play in,” he said.
