Geronimo Rulli believes that the home support for Manchester City played a crucial role in their dramatic victory over Brighton in the EFL Cup. The match finished 2-2 after regular time, with City winning 4-3 on penalties.
The goalkeeper saved penalties from Mateo Kovacic and Lewis Dunk. The decisive penalty was converted by Ryan Cherki, sending the team into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
For me, this was my moment. In situations like that, I don’t feel pressure; I try to play together with our supporters. They are really important to me at moments like this.
Rulli admitted that he promised Enzo Fernandez before the game that he would save at least two penalties.
I knew I would do it.
Rulli also praised the impact of the crowd following Kovacic's miss, stating that the supporters gave the team the energy and confidence needed during the tense penalty shootout.
