Pep Guardiola must share the blame for Claudio Bravo's error in Manchester City's defeat to Barcelona, Danny Murphy tells talkSPORT

Danny Murphy believes Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola MUST share a degree of the blame for goalkeeper Claudio Bravo's Champions League nightmare against Barcelona.

City were by no means outplayed by the Catalan giants on Wednesday night, but were undone by a series of defensive errors as Barca ran out 4-0 winners at the Nou Camp thanks to a Lionel Messi hat-trick and a late Neymar strike.

The turning point came when Bravo was sent off early into the second half for stopping a Luis Suarez strike with his hands outside his area after a failed attempt to pass to a teammate.
