Manchester City squandered a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League (CL) on Tuesday after another calamitous performance from Pep Guardiola’s stuttering side who have suffered an alarming slump in form.
Erling Haaland scored either side of an Ilkay Gundogan strike for the hosts, who looked poised for victory after a five-game losing streak in all competitions.
But defensive blunders in the dying minutes allowed Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko to score as City dropped to 15th in the Champions League table on eight points.
“We lost a lot of games lately, we’re fragile and of course we needed a victory,” Guardiola said as his side threw away the lead, with the English champions having been trounced 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.
“I don’t know if it’s mental. The first goal cannot happen and the second as well. After that we forget what happened, we were desperate to win and do well, we do well but don’t win games.”
