Born in Viluco, Chile, Bravo started his career with Colo-Colo. His father noticed Claudio's talent and elected to drive his son to the training ground of Colo-Colo, where he would sign for the academy of Chile's most successful club.

Bravo initially grabbed Colo-Colo's attention as a striker, but after short stints in midfield and defensive roles, he asked to be played in goal for the club's 'Cadete' team, and that is where he would stay, flourishing in his new position.

He would go on to make 123 appearances for Colo-Colo between 2002 and 2006 before joining Real Sociedad on the recommendation of Xabier Mancisidor, who is now City's goalkeeping coach. Bravo remained with the Royals for eight years, clocking up 237 starts - plus one goal against Gimnastic in 2010.

He moved to Barcelona in 2014 and has won eight different titles in just two years with the Catalans, playing 75 games and being named in the 2014/15 La Liga Team of the Season.

He was also voted Copa America's best goalkeeper in 2015 and 2016 as well as earning a place in the Team of the Tournament each time. Claudio made his City debut in the September 2016 Manchester derby.

Claudio captained Chile to the 2017 Confederations Cup final against Germany and played a huge role in City's Carabao Cup triumph in 2018.
