Manchester City's dominant run in the UEFA Champions League came to an end as Galatasaray pulled off a stunning comeback victory. The Turkish side staged an incredible fightback, capitalizing on Manchester City's defensive lapses to snatch a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium.

As the clock ticked down to extra time, it seemed as though City's title hopes were slipping away. But in the end, Galatasaray's determination and composure proved too much for their hosts. The Turkish team took advantage of City's mistakes and turned the game on its head, sending the Etihad Stadium into raptures.

The victory marked a rare defeat for Manchester City under manager Pep Guardiola. Despite dominating possession and creating more scoring chances, they struggled to contain Galatasaray's pacey forwards, who capitalized on City's defensive errors to score twice in the dying minutes of extra time.

man what a match !!! I feel bad for man city tho, they had it in the bag but those galatasaray guys just refused to give up . Pep guardiola is known for his team management skills but even he can't predict everything. 2-1 defeat is still a great result from their perspective, gotta keep going .

like seriously what a game lol. I mean I know City were expected to win, but that comeback was insane . Galatasaray deserved it more, they were all over City's defense from the start and just refused to give up . Can't blame them for capitalizing on those defensive lapses, who wouldn't?

I'm not gonna lie, I was getting a bit worried when City looked like they were going to lose . But Pep's got some decent tactics up his sleeve, and that comeback just goes to show the competition is heating up in Europe . Maybe it's time for City to step their game up?

Galatasaray got the fairy tale ending, but City's fans are still wondering what happened . 2-1 isn't a bad defeat, Pep's team was too comfortable I think . Maybe they were taking the opposition for granted?

man what a game i know pep guardiola is known for his tactical genius but i think galatasaray got lucky lol they were the underdogs and managed to pull off an epic comeback, gotta respect that . city dominated possession and created so many chances but somehow their defense just wasn't firing on all cylinders . still, you can't take anything away from pep's team effort - they went toe to toe with a top team and gave it their all . galatasaray got the win but i think city will be back stronger next season, mark my words

lol what just happened @ Man City?! I was expecting them to roll over those Turks but nope! Guess you can't underestimate a team that's hungry for points . I mean, City had all the possession and control, but Galatasaray were like a bunch of pesky mosquitoes, always buzzing around and causing trouble . It was like they knew exactly how to exploit City's weaknesses. Pep must've been losing his mind in that dugout . And that comeback? Mind-blowing! I'm still trying to process what just happened . Guess this is a reminder that anything can happen in the Champions League, even when you're the favorites
