Recently, "Manchester City" hosted the Dutch team "Feyenoord" in the 5th round of the Champions League. Under the guidance of Josep Guardiola, the team took the lead at the end of the first half thanks to a penalty, and after the break, they scored twice, seemingly securing the victory (Erling Haaland netted a brace). However, the opponent had a different opinion, as they initiated a comeback in the 75th minute and ended the match with a score of 3:3.
According to the statistical portal Opta, "Manchester City" set a unique negative record in the Champions League. For the first time in the history of this European competition, a club that was winning by a 3-goal margin in the 75th minute ultimately lost the match.
Additionally, the "Citizens" became the third English team in the entire history of the Champions League not to win a match when having a 3-goal advantage. Previously, this "feat" was achieved by "Arsenal" (2014) and "Liverpool" (2017).
Moreover, "Manchester City" has conceded two or more goals in six consecutive matches. The last time this occurred was in 1963. Furthermore, it is the first time since 1989 that an English team failed to win a match in which it had a 3-goal lead. It is worth noting that the draw with "Feyenoord" extended Guardiola and Co.'s winless streak in all competitions to six matches.
As a reminder, after five rounds, "Manchester City" is in 15th place in the Champions League standings, having accumulated 8 points.
