Lyon 3 – 1 Man City; Manchester City’s Champions League ambitions was ruined once again at the quarter final stage of the competition by Lyon, as they shocked Pep Guardiola’s side in a 3-1 thriller in Lisbon.
Manchester City started as favourites but came out second best against a fiercely determined Lyon in a game that swung on controversy and uncharacteristic errors in the closing stages.
Lyon went ahead in the 24th minute with Maxwel Cornet’s smart finish but City, lifeless as Guardiola chose to play a three-man central defence, looked to have been revived by Kevin de Bruyne’s precise strike from Raheem Sterling’s pass after 69 minutes.
