Manchester City’s Champions League campaign suffered another setback as they were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw by Feyenoord on Tuesday night at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite racing to a commanding three-goal lead, City failed to hold on, extending their poor run of form in Europe’s elite competition.
Erling Haaland showcased his brilliance with a brace, while İlkay Gündoğan added a deflected effort to put the Premier League champions in a seemingly comfortable position.
However, a spirited Feyenoord comeback saw Anis Hadj-Moussa, Santiago Giménez, and David Hancko strike to earn the Dutch side a well-deserved point.
In contrast, Arsenal delivered a masterclass in Lisbon, dismantling Sporting CP with an emphatic 5-1 victory. Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Magalhães gave the Gunners a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime.
Although Gonçalo Inácio scored a consolation goal for Sporting, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard extended the margin, reaffirming Arsenal’s dominance and bolstering their hopes in the competition.
Elsewhere in the Champions League, Bayern Munich edged past PSG with a narrow 1-0 victory, while Barcelona cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Brest.
Atalanta showcased their attacking firepower with a stunning 6-1 demolition of Young Boys, and Atlético Madrid delivered a ruthless 6-0 thrashing of Sparta Prague.
