Santiago Gimenez, forward of the Mexican national team, could not have had a better return to the Feyenoord lineup after 65 days of absence due to an injury when he contributed with a goal in the fantastic draw of the Dutch team at the home of the powerful Manchester City.
A draw that not even Alfred Hitchcock himself could have described, but it completely froze the smile of a team of citizens who until the 75th minute were sailing with a calm 3-0 victory with two goals from the Norwegian Erling Haaland and the German İlkay Gündoğan.
But when no one gave a damn for the Dutch, the Algerian Anis Hadj Moussa appeared and then the Mexican Santiago Giménez to get incredibly close to the English team so that one minute from the official time the Slovakian Dávid Hancko appeared to take away a victory that seemed certain for the English led by the prestigious Spanish coach Pep Guardiola.
Without a doubt, Giménez could not have had a better return for his self-esteem after an absence that had been diagnosed would last 90 days.but the effort of the Mexican striker made it possible for him to be back on a stage in 65 days with this goal that helped the incredible tie in the fifth day of the Champions League where both teams are far from the top eight places in the table in this new Swiss ranking system.
You don’t have to think too much about this 3-3 draw that aggravated Manchester City’s crisis. which has a negative streak of five consecutive defeats in both the Premier League, the Carabobo Cup and the Champions League.
The defeats suffered by the current powerful English team: Tottenham 2-1 Manchester City, Bournemouth 2-1 Manchester City, Sporting Lisbon 4-1 Manchester City, Brighton 2-1 Manchester City, Manchester City 0-5 Tottenham, which has faded the current four-time Premier League champion.
As extraordinary as this story is told, City not only did not win the easiest game to get out of its crisis of five consecutive defeatsbut he gave one of the most extraordinary comebacks ever recorded at the Etihad Stadium, where Feyenoord seemed dead, but in 15 minutes the entire panorama changed.
The two goals from the Norwegian Erling Haaland and the other from the German Ilkay Gündogan, with the help of a defender who deflected the ball to have the Eredivisie team against the wall, but the sum of City’s errors began to lead to this surprising result.
It was when the Croatian Josko Gvardiol made a serious mistake When trying to give up the ball that the Algerian Anis Hadj Moussa managed to snatch to beat him, he beat Ederson and the incredible story began in the home of citizens who could not believe what was happening at the Etihad.
Then the Mexican Giménez appeared in the 82nd to tie in an action where all the football gods played in favor of Feyenoord, Well, when goalkeeper Ederson seemed to have it under control, the ball hit the post and his body to reach Santiago Giménez and he chested the ball into the nets.
One minute from the end, the incredible thing happened when Igor Paixao was off the hook He overcame an Ederson who came out for grapes and put a cross into the area so that, without opposition, David Hancko finished off the surreal 3-3 score.
City still had the opportunity to let their soul return to their body, but Jack Grealish hit a post with his shot. and with this it was written that Manchester City is still in a serious crisis.
