Lyon went in front against Manchester City in a passage of play full of misfortune and in which Ederson came out very badly. Cornet continued with his great run against City.
Manchester City were forced to look for the comeback against a Lyon who were in theory inferior, City let in the first goal through Cornet, who already had scored three goals in the Champions League group stages against Pep's men last season.
The passage of play was fast and full of mistakes. City were too high up and Toko Ekambi started in the right position against a City that were sleeping when keeping the offside trap.
Éric Garcia, in an amazing passage of play, avoided the goal from the ex-Villarreal player, but with such bad fortune that his clearance left Cornet with a clear shot.
The Ivorian hit it with the inside of his boot and beat an Ederson who was very bad positioned in the action and had left his goals.
Once again, in a big European knockout match, Manchester City started with everything against.
