Shame! Man City pay duly for Guardiola’s terrible tactics against Lyon loss has a shock.

Guardiola’s got his game plan all wrong as he suffered a shock 3-1 Champions League quarter-final Man City loss to Lyon in Lisbon

Pep's gave far too much respect to Lyon after failing to beat them in either group game last season, and matched their line-up with a back three, attacking wing-backs and Raheem Sterling as a strike partner for Gabriel Jesus.
There was nothing over-complicated about Lyon's tactics. They just looked to play the ball in behind City’s static back-line and punish their general insipidness ruthlessly. The simple strategy worked a treat.

But this was Guardiola’s failure.

The Catalan was on his knees in the technical area as Lyon scored their killer third goal.

He managed to pick himself back up. But picking his players back up after such a senseless loss could prove far more difficult.
