Here's £35m Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson inside a 'Globe of Death' motorbike cage at a circus show - 48 hours before the club's League Cup final with Chelsea at Wembley.

The Brazilian shot stopper was filmed inside the cage with a rider circling around his head and body at speed.

It is billed by the circus as 'the most death-defying act ever demonstrated'. It is understood Ederson volunteered to have a go at the end of the show.

At one point in the video, a smiling Ederson - full name Ederson Santana de Moraes - raises his right arm and the rider grabs hold of his hand as he continues to zoom about above him.

Manchester City's number one, signed in 2017 from Benfica as one of the most expensive goalkeepers in world football, was at the Continental Circus Berlin show at EventCity near the Trafford Centre with friends and his family on Friday night.

It is the sister show of the hugely popular Circus Extreme.

The Globe of death Team Nogueira, who are touring with the circus show, posted a video of Ederson inside the sphere cage.

Circus Extreme also shared a video and photographs of Ederson posing with the riders inside the spherical cage on Facebook afterwards.

They said: "CIRCUS EXTREME GLOBE OF DEATH RIDERS IN SAFE HANDS!!!

"Man City Goalkeeper Ederson INSIDE our Globe of Death tonight."

On the show's website, the stunt is described as 'the most death-defying act ever demonstrated, as the group experience G-force similar to that of a fighter pilot'.

"Watch as they loop vertically and horizontally all while encased in a mesh sphere. This really is one for the petrolheads," it added.

"It is frightening to watch," said one spectator who was at the show the night before.

"It starts off with one bike then two bikes go around.

"Usually a woman stands in the middle of the cage so it looks like Ederson took her place.

"The globe splits in two during the act, with one bike going around the bottom half and two around the top."

Blues boss Pep Guardiola said in his pre-cup final press conference on Friday that Ederson might not play at Wembley and that he was going to make a late decision.

He hasn't played in any Carabao Cup games this season, but is likely to be on the bench should Kosovo international Aro Muric start the game.

The 20-year-old started all five league cup fixtures, but they were the only senior games he has played for the club.

Muric was the hero in the penalty shoot-out win over Leicester City in the quarter-finals, but remains relatively inexperienced, having been promoted to City's number two following Claudio Bravo's serious injury at the start of the season.

City stars Fernandinho and Kyle Walker were reportedly also at the show on Friday after other City players visited during the week.

The Manchester Evening News has contacted Ederson's agent for comment.

City chiefs said Ederson is 'fine' and that they have no concerns about the video.
