BRAVO: I JOINED MANCITY TO ESCAPED BEING BENCHED AT BARCA

Manchester City goalkeeper, Bravo told Cadena SER
that, with Ter Stegen set to take
his place as Barca's number one
this season, he felt it was
time to move on.
"It was not me that was [first] at
Barca, it was Ter Stegen,
having started the season in the
Barcelona side as Ter Stegen
returned from injury.

"The club made me an offer to
renew but, seeing their plans, I
also made them understand my
position.
"I was very sincere, I did not
want to sit on the bench. It's not
my thing. And they understood.
"In Barcelona I always devoted
myself to doing my best, I always
felt the support."
Bravo insists that the
competition between him and Ter Stegenthe
did not lead to any form of strain
relationship.
"What appeared in the press –
that we had a bad relationship
and things were uncomfortable
at the end – was not true.
"It was never a problem, indeed,
we both always benefitted from
the competition."
