But he was forced off late on in the 3-1 Etihad win over Copenhagen with a gruesome finger that appeared broken or dislocated.

Nunes went down and was clearly in extreme pain as he yelped out.

And images showed just how bad it was with his middle finger on his left hand bent 90 degrees backwards at the knuckle.

TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher said: “His finger was bent grotesquely.”

They immediately got to work on the digit and strapped it up.

However, Nunes was unable to continue and was subbed off for youngster Micah Hamilton.

But squeamish fans flooded social media with messages after witnessing the nasty injury – including plenty wishing him a speedy recovery.

One said: “Thought Nunes was just being a bit soft at the time. Just saw his finger,” followed by a sick emoji.

Another wrote: “Awful and painful sight.”

A third added: “Looks horrendous.”

A fourth typed: “This must be so painful. Get well soon Nunes.”

And a final user replied: “I don’t want to see Nunes’ finger anymore thank you!!”

City breezed through 6-2 on aggregate as they look to defend their status as Kings of Europe.

Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back for the Danish side but Erling Haaland grabbed his 41st Champions League goal to seal the win.
