Against the run of play, Lyon snatched the lead in the 24th minute when a through ball to striker Karl Toko Ekambi was slotted home by Maxwel Cornet. The goal sparked the game to life and with City pressing for an equaliser but Guardiola’s men simply could not find the cutting edge in front of goal. Guardiola was perhaps guilty of fielding a fairly tame squad at the start of the game, with the likes of David Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva all starting in the bench. The introduction of Mahrez in the second half seemed to rejuvenate City who, for all their attacking intent, found the equaliser through De Bruyne who slotted home a Raheem Sterling cutback in the 69th minute Read also Champions League defending champions Liverpool stunned by Napoli From then, City looked to have an overwhelming edge as they pressed on for a winner but their defensive fragility were once again exposed. Lyon stole the ball from the half way line and Houssem Aouar fed a sleek ball which was met and slotted home by Moussa Dembele. There was a brief check for a possible offside and foul for the goal but the goal eventually stood. Lyon 2, Manchester City 1. Perhaps the moment of the game came late on when Raheem Sterling found himself with the goal at his mercy but somehow, the England forward blazed over the bar.

City tried to mount a comeback late on but it was simply not their day as the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Sterling were simply not clinical enough on the day.
