Claudio Bravo showed that he is willing to fight for the starting position at Manchester City. The Chilean goalkeeper, who started in the match against Liverpool for the Community Shield, ended up giving Pep Guardiola's team the title of the competition by saving a penalty from Dutchman Georginio Wijnaldum in the penalty shootout.
After the first three penalties of the shootout were converted, Wijnaldum was called to take the second penalty for Liverpool. The Dutch midfielder, an important player in the English team's comeback against Barcelona in the last Champions League, sent a shot to his left but it was diverted by Chilean Claudio Bravo.
In this way, Claudio Bravo paved the way for his Manchester City teammates to come out victorious in the penalty shootout and win the Community Shield title. No 'citizen' player missed their penalty, and thus Pep Guardiola won his first title of the season.
In the last season with Manchester City, Claudio Bravo only played in one match due to an Achilles tendon rupture that kept him out for most of the campaign. Now, after recovering from the injury, the 36-year-old goalkeeper is ready to compete with Ederson Moraes for the starting position.
