Manchester City suffered a dramatic collapse in the UEFA Champions League, drawing 3-3 with Feyenoord at the Etihad Stadium after leading 3-0.
City took control early, with Erling Haaland converting a penalty shortly before halftime.
As the second half kicked off, the Premier League champions quickly doubled their lead with two rapid goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Haaland, bringing the score to 3-0.
It seemed like an easy win was in the bag for City.
So, Manager Pep Guardiola made some tactical changes, substituting key players to rest them.
This decision would prove crucial, as City’s performance began to wane dramatically.
A mistake by Josko Gvardiol, who played an errant pass to Feyenoord’s Anis Hadj-Moussa, allowed the visitors to pull one back with a well-taken goal.
The tide shifted further as Feyenoord, growing in confidence, pressed forward.
Substitute Santiago Gimenez made it 3-2 with a close-range finish, and David Hancko completed a superb team move to equalize, stunning the home crowd.
The draw leaves City with just two wins from their five group-stage games, putting them in jeopardy of missing out on automatic qualification for the knockout rounds.
