Manchester City Eliminated From The UEFA Champions League
English giants, Manchester City were on Saturday eliminated from the UEFA Champions League after losing to French side Lyon 3-1 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Cityzens were favourites to win and proceed to the semi-finals with Bayern Munich until Maxwel Cornet’s first-half strike which put Lyon ahead.
City equalised when Kevin De Bruyne smashed a Sterling cut-back in at the right post from the heart of the box in the second half.
Two late goals from super-sub Moussa Dembele on the counter-attack saw Lyon cancelling out the Belgian international’s equaliser.
Pep Guardiola has never taken Manchester City past the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite dominating the English football since his arrival.
