Manchester City was left frustrated after a dramatic 3-3 draw against Feyenoord on Tuesday in the Champions League, extending their winless run to six games. Despite a strong start, including two goals from Erling Haaland and a deflected effort from Ilkay Gundogan, City was undone by defensive errors in the final 15 minutes, allowing Feyenoord to mount a stunning comeback.
Haaland’s clinical penalty and a second goal seemed to give City a commanding lead, but mistakes crept in. Josko Gvardiol’s sloppy backpass allowed Anis Hadj Moussa to pull one back for Feyenoord, while a failure by Ederson to clear a near-post shot allowed Santiago Gimenez to score. A final blunder from Rico Lewis gifted David Hancko the equalizer, leaving City frustrated and unable to secure all three points.
The result leaves City in 15th place in Group G, just one point ahead of Feyenoord, and with only two games remaining against Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, their qualification for the knockout stages is in jeopardy. Guardiola acknowledged his team’s fragility, with defensive lapses continuing to cost them dearly. Despite the draw, City’s struggles are a major concern, especially with a key Premier League clash against Liverpool looming this weekend.
