The bad streak of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City continues, with its five consecutive defeats now adding the draw against Feyenoord after blowing a 3-0 lead on their return to the Champions League: just 15 minutes were enough for the Dutch team to equalize the score and scratch a point.
Not even with a 3-0 they can be calm in Manchester. This phrase, which until a few weeks ago would have always been attributed to United, has now crossed the street in the English city and points directly to a City that peacefully dominated Feyenoord and that gave away the tie in the final stretch.
Incredible as it may seem, the painting citizens Not only did he not win the easiest match to get out of his crisis of five consecutive defeats, but he gave away one of the most incredible comebacks the Etihad Stadium has ever seen to a Feyenoord that, with 3-0 down, saw everything lost.
Erling Haaland’s double, first from a penalty and later hunting down a Matheus Nunes cross, and Ilkay Gündogan’s goal, with the help of a defender who deflected the ball, was more than enough argument for to think that City, with this result, had won the game in the 75th minute.
But Josko Gvardiol, who usually covers up his defensive errors and his lukewarmness at the back with great goals, he sinned again like the weekend against Tottenham Hotspur. On a youth loan, He handed Anis Hadj Moussa 3-1 on a platewho beat Ederson and started a buzz at the Etihad.
Guardiola cowered on the bench and put his hands on his head. Exaggerated, many would think, seeing that the lead was still two goals and that the other team was not Real Madrid in 2021/2022, but Feyenoord, but perhaps the Spanish coach had had a vision that that mistake was just the beginning of a monumental disaster.
Seven minutes later, in the 82nd minute, a cross to the far post caught Gvardiol off guard, because City had fallen asleep again. The Croatian had to cover two players, he did not reach the center and Jordan Lotomba touched the ball with the greatest possible precision. The leather He entered between the post and Ederson and it was left to Santiago Giménez for the Mexican to return to the playing fields after two months injured with a goal.
With eight more minutes added, Feyenoord was one goal away from extending the crisis. And when things go bad, they can often only get worse.. In a long pass, Igor Paixao overtook Ederson who came out for grapes and put a cross into the area so that, without opposition, David Hancko finished off the surreal 3-3.
Jack Grealish was able to put out the fire with a shot to the crossbar in injury timebut no, City has gone six games without scoring and, in addition to having already lost the Premier League, the Champions League is also complicated: the sky blues They are fifteenth, with eight points and only three more games ahead.
