Manchester City have become the first team in Champions League history to blow a three-goal lead inside the final 15 minutes of a match in the competition.
Pep Guardiola’s side raced into a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord on Tuesday night, but late goals from Anis Hadj-Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko condemned the Cityzens to a disappointing draw at the Etihad Stadium.
The result means Man City have failed to win in each of their last six games, although the 3-3 draw has at least ended the worst losing streak of Guardiola’s managerial career.

In the process, Man City have made Champions League history by becoming the first team to lead a match by three goals as late as the 75th minute and still fail to win.
Furthermore, it is the first time during his career in the dugout in which a Guardiola team has squandered a three-goal lead.

Man City 3-3 Feyenoord
Erling Haaland put Man City 1-0 up from the penalty spot, before an Ilkay Gundogan strike and a second from Haaland looked to have earned Guardiola’s side a crucial three points as they seek automatic promotion into the Champions League last-16.
However, a late collapse at the Etihad Stadium saw the reigning Premier League champions extend their current winless run to six matches in all competitions.
Man City's last six results
| Opposition | Competition | Scoreline |
|---|---|---|
| Tottenham Hotspur (A) | Carabao Cup | 2-1 (L) |
| Bournemouth (A) | Premier League | 2-1 (L) |
| Sporting CP (A) | Champions League | 4-1 (L) |
| Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | Premier League | 2-1 (L) |
| Tottenham Hotspur (H) | Premier League | 0-4 (L) |
| Feyenoord (H) | Champions League | 3-3 (D) |
Their last victory came against Southampton in late October, with the club now eight points behind Liverpool in the English top flight and currently 15th in the Champions League group phase standings.
Furthermore, Man City have conceded at least two goals in each of their last six matches (17 in total), which is the first time this has happened for 61 years, as per Squawka.
