A False Goalkeeper

Manchester City vs Atalanta

By: Luca Greco

On November 6, Manchester City vs Atalanta were playing their second match in this year's Champions League, the first one was won by City 5-1, in their home. 

But when they visited Atalanta to Italy, they struggled to take the win.

In stats their were pretty much the same, with 8/10 shots (Atalanta/City), 12/11 faults, 41/59% possession, etc.

In goals, City began the match with an early goal by Sterling in the minute 7´, and it wasn't until minute 49´ that Atalanta tied the match with a goal of Pašalić. City had chances but they couldn't score, and surprisingly at minute    81´Claudio Bravo (the substitute goalkeeper) got a red card because a fault that he did outside the penalty box. Ederson (the first-choice goalkeeper) was injured, so Kyle Walker had to entered for  an another player of his team to be the goalkeeper for the last 12 minutes of the match. This is very rarely to see in football, and more in the Champions League. 

It was funny to see a non-goalkeeper, to goal-keep in a match. After this, the boring match turned interesting, and it was just watch and enjoy!
