Guardiola’s side were on the verge of ending their five-match winless streak when Erling Haaland’s double and Ilkay Gundogan’s goal gave them a 3-0 lead at home to Feyenoord. But City suffered a stunning final collapse, conceding three goals in the final 15 minutes and extending their nightmare run.
City had lost five matches in a row before Tuesday night and although that run is now over, this result is perhaps the worst of all. They were in control of cruising speed, en route to a comfortable victory that would have helped restore confidence at the Etihad Stadium ahead of Sunday’s all-important clash against Liverpool. But that all went away after goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko gave the Dutch team a remarkable point.
An incomprehensible collapse
The collapse means City are the first team in Champions League history to fail to win a match despite leading by three goals in the 75th minute, according to Opta.
Additionally, City have now conceded two or more goals in six consecutive games for the first time since May 1963. They were relegated from the top flight that season and currently face such a threat if found guilty in their legal battle against 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules.
