Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo may just have signed for Manchester City on Thursday, but he is returning to Barcelona pretty soon.
In the ongoing UEFA Champions League draw, Bravo’s Manchester City has been placed in Group City, which also has his now-former club Barcelona.
Both teams are favourites to qualify from the group, as they will be joined by less rated Borussia Mönchengladbach of Germany and Celtic of Scotland.
Bravo, 33, joined Pep Guardiola at City on Thursday on a four-year deal, displacing fan favourite and England goalkeeper Joe Hart as the club’s number one.

The Three Lions goalkeeper is widely expected to depart City before the end of the transfer window.
Guardiola failed to oust Barcelona on his return in 2014/15 with Bayern Munich, helplessly watching his side lose to the Catalan giants.
The Champions League group stage kicks off on September 13 and runs until December 7.
