Manchester City were knocked out of the Champions League quarter final by Lyon, as the French side pulled off a second huge upset in just over a week.
Moussa Dembele’s two goals from the bench dump Man City out of the Champions League against the odds. A painful defeat for Pep Guardiola, because this competition was winnable.
Another big Champions League knockout game, another unnecessary tactical tweak from Pep Guardiola?
That was the feeling after watching Manchester City concede a sloppy goal against Lyon in their quarter-final on Saturday night.
Pep Guardiola made everyone wait to confirm his formation for the clash, with Fernandinho slotting into a back three alongside Eric Garcia and Aymeric Laport
Not for the first time, City had failed to deliver on the big stage and their European dream is over.
Man City fans are obviously gutted by the result have been expressing their thoughts and opinions
Pep and raheem, that miss is unacceptable at this level, pep changed the system we got level, raheem puts us 2-1 up with 10 minutes to go, now where 3-1 down…— Ben (@MCFCbenjani) August 15, 2020

Though he should have stuck to his tactics but Gabriel Jesus and Sterling were too wasteful. Will Guardiola teach them how to bury chances?— 𝔻𝕒 𝔹𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕆𝕟𝕖 (@IrepApril6) August 15, 2020
The tactics first half were unforgivable— Bruce Campbell (@BCampbell_STL) August 15, 2020
Awful. But Sterling can’t miss that goal. Ref can’t miss that foul. Mahrez can’t play for us again and anything we get for Garcia will be a bonus. So so disappointed with this performance. Not one city player has had a good game.— tony osborne (@biggingertone) August 15, 2020
I’ll admit that when it comes to champions league game Pep always overthinking things and that is his weakness and it cost him and the team the place in the final each year.— Sumarai (@Kholo47Petrus) August 15, 2020
