Manchester City squandered a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 against Feyenoord in the Champions League. Erling Haaland's double and Ilkay Gundogan's strike were overshadowed by defensive errors, including Josko Gvardiol’s costly mistake.

Manchester City endured another frustrating night in the Champions League, letting a commanding three-goal lead slip to draw 3-3 against Feyenoord at the Etihad Stadium.
City seemed to have the match secured with Erling Haaland scoring twice and Ilkay Gundogan adding another, putting them 3-0 up. However, a series of defensive mistakes allowed Feyenoord to mount a stunning comeback. Josko Gvardiol’s poor back-pass gifted Anis Hadj Moussa a goal, sparking Feyenoord’s fightback. Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko added two more goals, leveling the score in the dying minutes.
Goalkeeper Ederson struggled, playing a role in Feyenoord’s equalizer, while Gvardiol had a night to forget, failing to recover from critical errors. Pep Guardiola’s decision to make several late substitutions disrupted the team’s momentum and left them vulnerable in the closing stages.
Despite Haaland’s heroic performance, including a penalty conversion and near hat-trick, City’s defensive issues overshadowed the efforts of their star striker. Matheus Nunes stood out in midfield, assisting one of Haaland’s goals and creating additional chances, but his contributions weren’t enough to secure a win.
The result extends City’s winless streak to six games, putting their form under intense scrutiny. With domestic and European fixtures looming, Guardiola faces mounting pressure to address the defensive shortcomings that have plagued his side this season.
