EDERSON celebrated Manchester City’s Champions League win in a bonkers way – by shaving a reporter’s beard.
The goalkeeper starred for the Citizens during the victory over Inter Milan that saw the club complete a historic treble.
Ederson made some late saves in the game to deny the Italian side a late equaliser after Rodri had given them the lead in the 68th minute.
After the full-time whistle and amongst the celebrations, some of the players had to do their duties with the media.
And while Jack Grealish was quizzing Thierry Henry and Pep Guardiola was revealing his message from Sir Alex Ferguson, Ederson’s appearance for the press was a bit odder.
The Brazilian spoke to reporter Fred Caldeira from the news outlet TNT Sports, with whom he had made an earlier bet.

In the later stages of the interview after talking about the match and near misses, Caldeira said: “Time to pay the bet.”
Ederson was then handed an electric shaver and started to remove the reporter’s moustache while still wearing his goalkeeper gloves.
Once he had completed the reporter’s trim, it was his turn to have his beard shaved off.
The clip went viral on social media with fans loving the moment with the goalkeeper.

One fan said: “Ederson celebrations are always different.”
A second joked: “Our keeper is a lunatic, he’s going to celebrate by tattooing himself😅.”
A third said: “He’s crazy. I love him.”
A fourth commented: “Hahaha this is so cute.”
While a fifth added: “Ederson is shaving off a Brazilian reporter’s moustache on live TV because he won a bet against him.”
Caldeira had teased the shave before the game as he posted a picture of himself with the match ball and the clipper with the caption, “Hello, Ederson.”
He had a similar encounter with Arsenal midfielder Jorginho after he won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.
