Reuniting in the 2024-25 Champions League league phase, Manchester City were seemingly on course for a comfortable success over Feyenoord, only to astonishingly let a three-goal lead slip in a 3-3 draw amid their catastrophic slump.
When Manchester City and Feyenoord encountered one another in November 2024, it marked just the third competitive meeting between the English and Dutch giants, whose inaugural battles were fought in the 2017-18 Champions League group stage.
Guardiola's men unsurprisingly reigned supreme that year, decimating Feyenoord 4-0 at De Kuip in their first-ever showdown in September 2017, a couple of months before a nervy 1-0 victory on home soil.
The four-goal thrashing in the Netherlands saw an unlikely source strike twice for Man City, as John Stones conjured up a brace, including what was the Citizens' quickest-ever Champions League goal at the time inside the opening two minutes, although Kevin De Bruyne's effort versus Real Madrid in 2022 was quicker.
Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus also found the net inside the first half of that thrashing before Stones completed his double in the second 45 minutes, but Feyenoord managed to tighten up at the back significantly in November 2017.
Under the tutelage of former Netherlands defender Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, Feyenoord looked set to leave the Etihad with a hard-earned point, having kept Man City at bay for over 85 minutes on the night.
However, with just two minutes of normal time left to play, Raheem Sterling broke the deadlock to seal a first-placed finish in the section for Man City.
