'It is what it is' - Guardiola's City stunned by Feyenoord comeback

Manchester City suffered a humiliating 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday, leaving their European campaign in jeopardy.

The result marked a shocking turn of events, as City had been leading 3-0 before conceding three goals in the final 15 minutes.

Manager Pep Guardiola was visibly disappointed with his team's performance.

"It was not necessary to say anything to (the players), they know it perfectly. It is what it is, difficult to swallow now. We give away especially the first one and after we are not stable enough," he said.

Despite the setback, Guardiola defended his young defender, Josko Gvardiol, who was at fault for two of Feyenoord's goals.

"He is so young, he'll learn. I'll be so wrong if I point specific things at him. He's a fantastic player, fantastic boy and more than ever must be helped," Guardiola said.

The result leaves City in a precarious position in the Champions League, with their qualification hopes hanging by a thread. Their next match, against Liverpool, will be a crucial test of their character and resilience.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord manager Brian Priske was delighted with his team's comeback.

"I just love that word resilience and that's what these boys have. They showed incredible character to fight back from 3-0 down," he said.
