Manchester City went into their last match in Europe — a 3-3 home draw against Feyenoord — on a five-match losing run in all competitions.
So without watching the match, you might assume a draw and a point to end that run maybe wasn’t the worst result. Those watching would, however, tell you otherwise.
City went 3-0 up inside a ten-minute spell either side of half-time thanks to Erling Haaland’s double and a goal from Ilkay Gundogan, but fell apart spectacularly late on, with goals from Anis Hadj-Moussa, Santiago Gimenez, and David Hancko rescuing a draw for the visitors.
If there is any hint of that vulnerability again tonight, Juventus will be licking their lips. The draw leaves City on eight points after five games, with two wins, two draws, and a defeat — an identical record to Juventus (albeit with a better goal difference).
