The Daily Mail: “Monstrous brain fart”
“Yes, this really happened,” writes a reporter from the The Daily Mail about the never expected draw again. “If you don’t really believe what you’ve read, I have the evidence to back it up. What was Ederson thinking as he stormed out of his box? This was a monstrous one brainfart. As soon as that ball went over his head, I knew it was a goal.”
After five defeats in a row and this draw that feels like a defeat, there is a crisis at Manchester City. “The club has had its downturns in the past, but this is a huge crisis they have found themselves in in Manchester. When will this end? City didn’t win a single game in November and it won’t happen again,” he said The Daily Mail fixed. Liverpool will be opponents in the Premier League on Sunday at 5 p.m., in a duel to save the day in the competition.
The Guardian: “Ship that could sink at any time”
“Manchester City throws away their three-goal lead while Feyenoord fights back in a stunning way.” So heads The Guardian after Feyenoord’s surreal comeback in Northern England. “Manchester City’s losing streak (five matches, ed.) is over. But it’s still a ship that could sink at any moment. After a 3-0 lead and a late horror show, City gave away the lead. Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Giménez and David Hancko helped Feyenoord get a well-deserved point.”
Sky Sports: “Guardiola was already busy with Liverpool”
Guardiola realized at 3-1 that he had made a number of wrong decisions, as evidenced by his hands on his main act, but at 3-0 the Spanish coach did not see disaster approaching. “Nobody in the stadium saw it coming, as evidenced by Guardiola’s decision to bring on Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and James McAtee along with Kevin De Bruyne when the score was 3-0. He thought it was over and was already busy with Liverpool,” says Sky Sports.
Pep Guardiola’s nightmare continues as City throws away a three-goal lead and draws The Sun hardly believe what happened at the Etihad Stadium. “City is the first team in the history of the Champions League to have a three-goal margin in the 75th minute, but not to win,” the newspaper added. “What will this mean for next Sunday’s match against Liverpool?”

Shearer: “Could be disastrous”
Alan Shearer, in his role as Amazon analyst, lashes out at Pep Guardiola: “This could be disastrous for Guardiola. I can’t believe his decisions at the end of that match. City looked weak. You can’t give the opponent a chance and you can’t give him hope. That’s exactly what City did.”
Manchester Evening News: “Any aura of invincibility is gone”
Manchester Evening News also cannot believe that Guardiola’s often praised wonder team could give it away against Feyenoord. The fact that the Rotterdammers all had their picture taken on the field added to the sour evening. “A team photo on the field after the Feyenoord team felt like quite a humiliation,” the newspaper notes.
“These are strange times, after an unprecedented run of defeats for Pep Guardiola and the heaviest home defeat ever at the Etihad (0-4 against Tottenham Hotspur, ed.). A few weeks ago, Feyenoord would have been considered cannon fodder, but now it is the team that has shown that any aura of invincibility has disappeared from City.”
