The reigning Premier League champions set an unfortunate record with a loss to Lyon

Manchester City's struggles in the Champions League continued on Wednesday as the reigning Premier League champions' continental futility set a new record.

With Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Lyon, Man City became the first ever English club to lose four consecutive matches in Champions League play.

The latest loss in Man City's streak came in Wednesday's opener, as the Citizens conceded goals to Maxwel Cornet and Nabil Fekir before the stroke of half-time.

A Bernardo Silva finish in the second half wasn't enough for City despite the introductions of Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero

The first loss of Man City's streak came in February's round of 16 clash with Basel, as Pep Guardiola's side followed a 4-0 first leg win with a 2-1 loss to advance to the quarter-finals.
