#2 Claudio Bravo under scrutiny – again
Pep Guardiola’s decision to sign ‘sweeper-keeper’ Claudio Bravo from Barcelona and loan out long-serving Joe Hart has been questioned many a time by the media. An uncertain league debut in the Manchester Derby and a mindless red card against Barcelona in the Champions League have highly doubted Bravo’s credentials as a reliable first-choice keeper, and Wednesday was another classic example.
A throw aimed towards Kevin de Bruyne in the 38th minute – without realising the imminent danger around the Belgian – was quickly intercepted by fullback Oscar Wendt, who dribbled past a number of City shirts before seeing his shot saved by the body of Bravo. The Chilean had quickly redeemed himself, but not before an awful decision that could easily have led to a two-goal deficit for City.
