'He is one of the greatest' – Zabaleta tells Manchester City fans to back Bravo

The Argentine full-back has called for the under-fire goalkeeper to be given greater support, while also discussing his own future at the Etihad

Claudio Bravo is still one of the football's great goalkeepers and Manchester City fans must get behind him, insists Pablo Zabaleta.

The 33-year-old – signed for £17million from Barcelona last August – has lost his first-choice status to Willy Caballero in the Premier League and Champions League after a string of high-profile mistakes.

Bravo did play in Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round replay victory over Huddersfield Town and was greeted with ironic cheers from City fans at the Etihad Stadium whenever he made a routine save.
