Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night ended a remarkable 14-game unbeaten streak against Bundesliga opposition at the Etihad Stadium.
The defeat, characterised by defensive errors and a failure to convert chances, was a major statistical anomaly for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The disappointing result places more pressure on City’s domestic form as they look to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
