Manchester City are in the deep end, with the pain of back-to-back defeats unrelenting! Following their fifth consecutive defeat in the Europa League home game against Feijano in the early hours of Wednesday (27th), the team faced a 3-0 lead only to stage a shocking comeback in the last 15 minutes, making consecutive mistakes and conceding three goals in a row to write the most thrilling collapse in the history of the Europa League. City have now suffered six consecutive defeats and will challenge Liverpool in their next match in the Premier League.

Despite losing 1-4 in the Europa League final, City did not give up and were determined to turn things around at home. Ayn Rand made it 1-0 before the end of the first half, and only 50 minutes into the second half, Ayn Rand added to their lead with a fine cross from Mafiosi Nunes to extend the lead to 3-0.

Just when I thought we were on the verge of victory, City made some unexpected substitutions. However, it was in the last 15 minutes that the tide turned and in the 75th minute, a mistake by Gavadore led to a goal by Shah Jai Mushah for the visitors. Flying Yeno striker Cindy Ago Kiwanis then added a second goal in the 85th minute as the game heated up, before David Hansgow scored a header from a cross in the 89th minute to end the game in a dramatic 3-3 draw.

Opta data shows that this is the first time in the history of the Europa League, a team in the 75th minute leading 3 goals but ultimately did not win; and Gaudio in his career for the first time in the lead of 3 goals failed to win. Defensive instability has become the main reason for City's struggles, conceding at least two goals in six consecutive matches for the first time in 61 years for the "Blue Moon".

Godio said after the game, "We played well early in the game, but two goals from our opponents put us in a difficult position. We stayed at a high level for most of the game, but the problem arose when it was not clear to me that it was Mimi's mental problem. The reality is that despite playing well we failed to win. I'm not going to think about qualification and just prepare my family for the next game."
