This bizarre sequence of events ended up forcing in Kyle Walker of all people between the sticks, and the right-back ended up seeing the 1-1 draw out.
Although, City fans are fuming with the decision to send off Bravo, with pictures showing minimal contact from the Chilean.
The keeper himself tweeted an angle of the foul which Bravo has questioned along with the fans. One supporter said “it’s a travesty”, as other supporters why VAR wasn’t consulted in the midst of all this.
This is, however, not the first time in which Bravo has been sent off for City in Europe. The 36-year-old was dismissed against his old club Barcelona back in 2016 by seeing a straight red card.

City are on 10 points after the four matches and their place in the knockout rounds is on the brink of being secured.
