Manchester City’s struggles deepened as they squandered a commanding three-goal lead to draw 3-3 against Feyenoord in a dramatic Champions League encounter at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side, desperate to end a five-match losing streak, seemed set for victory after Erling Haaland’s brace and Ilkay Gundogan’s deflected volley put them 3-0 up just after halftime. Haaland’s first goal came from a controversial penalty, and his second was a clinical finish from Matheus Nunes' low cross. Despite dominating large spells of the game, City capitulated in the final 15 minutes. Anis Hadj Moussa capitalized on Josko Gvardiol’s misplaced backpass to pull one back in the 75th minute. Eight minutes later, another Gvardiol error led to Sergio Gimenez chesting in Feyenoord’s second. City’s defensive woes were compounded when goalkeeper Ederson misjudged a cross, allowing David Hancko to head into an empty net in the dying minutes.

Jack Grealish struck the woodwork in stoppage time, but City failed to find a winner, leaving Guardiola with his head in his hands. Feyenoord fans taunted City by singing "You’ll Never Walk Alone," a nod to their shared anthem with Liverpool, Guardiola’s next opponent in Sunday’s Premier League clash. This late collapse raises fresh concerns for the Premier League champions as they struggle to find their rhythm in a crucial stage of the season.
