Gabriel Jesus and some other colleagues in Man City could not hold back tears on Saturday night when Lyon whipped them out of the Champions League.
They beat the Pep Guardiola’s boys 3-1, thus shattering their hope of gaining what they lost to Liverpool in the Premier League.
VAR favoured Lyon twice, until they scored the final goal in the dying minute of the match.
Kelvin Debruyney’s second half goal could not help City, even as Raheem Sterlin fumbled at the point it mattered most, blowing into the sky a chance he had facing en empty net.
The defeat thus compounds the dilemma of the giants, following Bayern’s mauling of Barcelona 8-2 on Friday.
