Rio Ferdinand believes the introduction of Fernandinho "destabilised" Manchester City in their 4-3 Champions League victory against Real Madrid on Tuesday evening.
The 36-year-old, a midfielder by trade, was brought on in the 36th minute at the Etihad when John Stones - playing at right-back - suffered an injury. Regular right-backs Kyle Walker (injury) and Joao Cancelo (suspension) were not part of City's 23-man squad.
Fernandinho was at fault for Real's second goal. His compatriot Vinicius Junior went past him with ease before finding the back of the net. But the City ace did set up his team's second goal, producing a delightful cross for Phil Foden to head home.
