Feyenoord exploded the biggest surprises of Tuesday’s matches in the Champions League after returning from a 3-0 deficit against Manchester City to draw 3-3 in the last quarter of an hour.
Perhaps the biggest victim of this draw is Pep Guardiola, who seems, for the first time in his career, to be suffering from an unprecedented collapse.
Guardiola commented on the draw, saying, “We have lost a lot of matches recently, we are fragile and of course we needed to win, the match was good for confidence.”
Guardiola appeared in the press conference after the match with signs of cuts on his face, so a journalist asked him about that and he answered that he was the one who cut himself with his fingers and that he wanted to hurt himself because of this disappointing draw.

This is the sixth match in a row in all competitions that City has failed to win, knowing that they have lost the last 5 matches, and the draw with Feyenoord was the best they have achieved over the past month.
Also, this is the first time that a team led by Pep Guardiola has failed to win after leading 3-0, which clearly shows the extent of the suffering that the Spanish philosopher is experiencing.
In the same context, Manchester City became the first team in the history of the Champions League to lead 3-0 until the 75th minute and fail to win.
This is also the first time that Manchester City has led 3-0 and failed to win any tournament in which it participated since May 1989.
