Playing at home at Etihad Stadium, Man City entered the match with excitement, overwhelming Feyenoord. At the end of the first half, Haaland accurately executed the penalty, putting Pep Guardiola's team ahead 1-0. In the second half, Haaland continued to score in the 53rd minute, helping the English representative lead 3-0. Before that, İlkay Gündoğan helped Man City score the second goal in the 50th minute. However, in just the last 15 minutes, Man City unexpectedly made Feyenoord rise up, scoring 3 consecutive goals to end the match in a 3-3 draw.

After the draw with Feyenoord, Man City only has 8 points after 5 matches. From being a strong candidate for the championship title, Man City has dropped to 15th place and is at risk of having to play in the play-offs. Coach Pep Guardiola expressed his disappointment: "The match went well with a score of 3-0 but then we conceded goals continuously. Currently, Man City does not even dare to think about the remaining 3 wins to finish the first phase in the top 8. Man City must recover and prepare for the next match. If we cannot win the matches even though we are 3 goals ahead, everything will be difficult."
Including the 3-3 draw with Feyenoord, Man City have gone 6 consecutive matches without a win in all competitions. In November, the blue half of Manchester also did not have any victories. According to The Guardian , coach Pep Guardiola reacted strongly after the above result. He "hurt" himself, leaving many small wounds on his head and nose.
Coach Pep Guardiola admitted that his team is facing many problems: “The scratches on my face are my own doing. Man City have lost a lot of matches recently, we are very weak. I expected to win this match so that the whole team could regain confidence but that did not happen. I do not know if this is due to psychology. Just conceding 1 goal almost makes the whole team lose spirit”.

After the match with Feyenoord, Man City is expected to face many difficulties when facing Liverpool in the Premier League. Man City is currently 8 points behind Liverpool and if they continue to lose, the gap between the two teams will increase to 11 points. Defender Nathan Ake assessed that the recent disappointing results in the Champions League will greatly affect Man City in the upcoming match.
“Obviously, Man City have never been in a difficult situation like this. I think it comes down to mentality. When you are three goals up and you get equalised, it is like losing a game. It was a difficult night, but the only thing we can do is look forward to the next game. Liverpool is a big game, Man City have to get their mentality right and get through it,” Nathan Ake said.
