Former Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson could be about to win the Champions League for the second time in his career after being included in Manchester City’s travelling squad for Saturday’s final with Inter Milan.
The former England international, who was on the bench for the Reds’ famous victory over AC Milan in Istanbul in 2005, will return to the Turkish capital and the Ataturk Stadium as City look to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Carson has only ever made two Champions League appearances, having memorably started for Liverpool in their 2-1 quarter-final victory over Juventus in April 2005, before coming on as a substitute for City in last year’s round-of-16 clash against Sporting Lisbon. But despite being Pep Guardiola’s third-choice goalkeeper, he is set to be named on the bench for Saturday’s final after being included in the Spaniard’s 23-man squad.
