Manchester City have set a brand new Champions League record after their 3-3 draw with Feyenoord on Tuesday.

On Tuesday night, the fifth match day of the Champions League got underway as some of the best teams in Europe competed for a vital three points.

In the biggest shock of the evening, Manchester City drew 3-3 with Dutch side Feyenoord at the Etihad, making it six winless games in a row for Pep Guardiola's side.

And, having thrown away the win after going 3-0 up in the match, City have set a brand new Champions League record.

As revealed by OptaJoe on X, City are now the first team in UEFA Champions League history to fail to win a match despite leading by three goals as late as the 75th minute.

The hosts finally looked like they were going to put an end to their dreadful form recently as two goals from star striker Erling Haaland and one from club legend Ilkay Gundogan put them 3-0 before the hour mark.

But in less than fifteen minutes, they surrendered their lead as a 75th minute goal from Feyenoord striker Anis Hadj-Moussa was followed by goals from Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko in the 82nd and 89th minutes respectively.

And ahead of back-to-back difficult away fixtures against Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, there is now a genuine possibility that City could crash out of the Champions League in the first round of the new format.

As it stands, City are on eight points in the Champions League table, two points away from the top eight sides that automatically progress to the next round.

Meanwhile they are four points clear of the twelve sides that will be knocked out of the Champions League without making it to the knockout stage.

However, with nine matches still to be played on Wednesday to finish the matchday, the situation could become even worse for Pep Guardiola's side.

Meanwhile in the Premier League, City travel to Anfield for perhaps the most-anticipated match of the season against long-term rivals Liverpool.

If they were to lose to Liverpool, the defending champions would fall an incredible 11 points behind the league leaders with just 13 matches played.
