Champions League 2018/19: Messi, Ronaldo And 3 Broken Records In Matchday 1

5. Manchester City's Record Consecutive Champions League Loss

Manchester City v Olympique Lyonnais - UEFA Champions League Group F

Pep Guardiola was helpless from the stands as Manchester started their Champions League campaign in a disappointing 1-2 defeat against Olympique Lyonnais at the Etihad on Wednesday.

The French travellers put two goals past City, courtesy of Maxwell Cornet and Nabi Fekir in the first forty-five minutes. Bernardo Silva’s second-half goal wasn’t enough to inspire the English Champions to salvage a draw or hope for a comeback.

The defeat to Lyon means Manchester City have lost four consecutive Champions League game- the most consecutive for an English side at the Champions League.

The English Champions losing streak started in the 2017/2018 Round of 16 second-leg 1-2 defeat to Basel. They also crumble in both quarter-final legs to Liverpool. The Reds defeated City 3-0, 1-2 at the quarter-final of last season’s competition.

Agitated Pep Guardiola vs Lyon

The obviously agitated Pep Guardiola was unavailable for the game after he was sent to the stands during City's last season 2-1 Champions League quarter-final second-leg defeat to Liverpool, for harassing the referee on the Etihad Stadium pitch at half-time.

Manchester City will now travel to Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk in their next two Champions League games.
