Manchester City’s losing sequence is over – just. But they are still a listing ship that can go down at any moment. From 3-0 up after 75 minutes, a late horror show ceded the advantage as Feyenoord preyed on home nerves via Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Giménez and David Hancko, who drew Feyenoord level to earn a well-fought point. After five consecutive losses, a canter of a win was on the cards that would have made life for Pep Guardiola and his players feel far brighter before the champions’ next challenge: Sunday’s trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool. But after City’s shaky finish here, they will hardly relish the trip to Arne Slot’s leaders. Feyenoord, who arrived as the Eredivisie’s fourth-placed side, had appeared beaten by two Erling Haaland goals and one from Ilkay Gündogan. All came after the interval as Guardiola discarded the narrow 4-3-3 that proved toothless against Ange Postecoglu’s Tottenham for a 4-2-3-1 that, in the opening 45 minutes, still allowed gaps and was profligate. The bigger picture, though, is that Rodri remains badly missed – for his steady head and cool control. Hadj Moussa and Giménez’s 75th- and 82nd-minute goals each came due to Josko Gvardiol losing his calm and unloading sloppy passes, while Ederson was at fault for rushing out for the visitors’ equaliser. To face Feyenoord, whose six points came in wins over Benfica and Girona, Guardiola dropped Kyle Walker and Savinho from Saturday’s 4-0 humbling by Spurs . In came Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish, with Nathan Aké retained after replacing the injured John Stones at half‐time. It was no surprise to see Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, as serial winners, joking beforehand and each were involved in a fluid move in which the latter crossed, the ball was turned back by Manuel Akanji, the Norwegian made a header but saw Timon Wellenreuther save with a frantic dive low to the right. Wellenreuther was at fault next, though. A misdirected pass out from the goalkeeper was mopped up by City and suddenly Grealish’s volley rocketed goalwards, though Foden’s back deflected it away. But now we saw the clumsiness that has troubled Guardiola’s side as a sluggish Ilkay Gündogan was robbed, City turned, and Josko Gvardiol’s muscle was required to stymie Feyenoord along the right. This fed into a show of Guardiola exasperation. So, too, did Aké’s upending of Julián Carranza, and an Igor Paixão burst inside from his left wing to switch: the No 14 continued his run and eventually the ball came to him but a flying effort went high. Cutting edge is another element City have lacked and while Foden’s pivot-and-shot made Wellenreuther save it was an emblem of this. Another issue has been the gaps in midfield and the way Feyenoord advanced down the left was one of the many examples, causing the ever-more frustrated Guardiola to direct his ire at Bernardo Silva for not patrolling his flank. City’s famed press malfunctioned, too. Brian Priske’s men stroked possession about in the manner their hosts wanted to. Feyenoord kept slipping through them – as when the ball went tap-tap-tap-tap forward, and Paixão hit the ball straight into Ederson’s hands. Defending, City looked a goal waiting to happen. Attack was far easier: a swashbuckling Foden surge that culminated in a blocked attempt took his team to the end they wished to operate in. After a Hwang In-beom rocket was repelled, City moved upfield again. But the same lack of precision meant Haaland hit a leg instead of the back of Wellenreuther’s net. But then a break. Quinten Timber the culprit for catching Haaland and Radu Petrescu pointed to the spot. Feyenoord’s captain lost the argument with the referee and, after a delay, Haaland rammed the penalty into the bottom right corner. The relief among City enthusiasts was tangible. Could City grow from here and swagger through the second half ahead of the weekend test? The answer was yes. Gvardiol zipped the ball to Haaland at the fast pace required and the No 9 glimpsed goal but turned into traffic. Nunes, more direct, shot; a corner was claimed, and City were about to score a second for the first time since blasting Sparta Prague 5-0 here on 23 October. The ball was flighted in from the right quadrant, it popped out to Gündogan, and his left-booted volley pinged into the net off Hancko, wrongfooting Wellenreuther, and those wearing blue breathed calmer. City moved into relaxed mode seconds later via the kind of back-to-front foray that had seemed extinct recently. Akanji fed Gündogan, whose pirouette presaged a pass to the marauding Nunes down the right. He skated forward and skimmed over a ball that had Haaland, ever the arch predator, sliding home for 3-0.

Guardiola, as he likes to, pointed his celebration towards the posh seats in the gods behind him, and his players cruised. Grealish, Gvardiol and Foden all went close. City approached their usual imperiousness so when Akanji sprayed the ball straight to Hancko he was relieved the Feyenoord defender steered wide. No such relief for Gvardiol, whose repeat of his haplessness against Spurs set up Feyenoord’s comeback and City’s crumble.
NoneA view of an image announcing Brazil as elected host country for COP 30, at the COP29 United Nations Climate Change Conference, in Baku, Azerbaijan November 23, 2024. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov/File Photo BAKU - Countries agreed to a hard-fought COP29 deal to provide $300 billion in annual climate finance by 2035. But while some delegates reacted to the agreement early Sunday with a standing ovation, others voiced anger and lambasted wealthy nations for not doing more. Here are some of their comments: U.N. FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY SIMON STIELL (in a statement) "It has been a difficult journey, but we've delivered a deal. This new finance goal is an insurance policy for humanity, amid worsening climate impacts hitting every country. "This deal will keep the clean energy boom growing and protect billions of lives. It will help all countries to share in the huge benefits of bold climate action: more jobs, stronger growth, cheaper and cleaner energy for all. "But like any insurance policy – it only works – if the premiums are paid in full, and on time. No country got everything they wanted, and we leave Baku with a mountain of work still to do. So this is no time for victory laps." INDIA REPRESENTATIVE CHANDNI RAINA "We are disappointed in the outcome which clearly brings out the unwillingness of the developed country parties to fulfil their responsibilities." "I regret to say that this document is nothing more than an optical illusion. This, in our opinion, will not address the enormity of the challenge we all face. Therefore, we oppose the adoption of this document." U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES "I had hoped for a more ambitious outcome – on both finance and mitigation – to meet the great challenge we face. But this agreement provides a base on which to build. It must be honoured in full and on time. Commitments must quickly become cash." BOLIVIA REPRESENTATIVE DIEGO PACHECO BALANZA (speaking via a translator) "We need a finance which will properly grant us the resources we need to take steps. The finance that is hugely below our requirements is an insult and it is a flagrant violation of justice and climate equity. "Climate finance, as it stands in this agreement, is extinguishing international cooperation. We are moving on from the time of leaving of no-one behind to an era of let every man save himself." BRITISH ENERGY MINISTER ED MILIBAND (In a statement) “This is a critical eleventh hour deal at the eleventh hour for the climate. It is not everything we or others wanted but is a step forward for us all." "Today’s agreement sends the signal that the clean energy transition is unstoppable. It is the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st century and through our championing of it we can help crowd in private investment." TINA STEGE, MARSHALL ISLANDS CLIMATE ENVOY (in a statement) “We came in good faith, with the safety of our communities and the well-being of the world at heart. Yet, we have seen the very worst of political opportunism here at this COP, playing games with the lives of the world's most vulnerable people. "Fossil fuel interests have been determined to block progress and undermine the multilateral goals we’ve worked to build. This can never be allowed to happen. "Despite the barriers, we’ve fought hard and secured something for our communities. We are leaving with a small portion of the funding climate-vulnerable countries urgently need. "It isn’t nearly enough, but it’s a start, and we’ve made it clear that these funds must come with fewer obstacles so they reach those who need them most. We have also rejected those who sought to undo the agreements we made on phasing out fossil fuels." EU CLIMATE COMMISSIONER WOPKE HOEKSTRA "With these funds and with this structure, we are confident we will reach the $1.3 trillion objective. On efforts to cut emissions: "It was not a focus of this COP but we wanted more, because the world needs more of it. And even though the UAE Consensus was attacked, we did move forward, even though it was just a bit. "We did manage to safeguard Dubai and take some steps forward. It is less than we would have liked, but it's better than we feared. So we're unhappy to lose a year, we're happy not to lose this fight."

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — De'Vondre Campbell's decision to quit on his team in the middle of a game overshadowed the bigger issues for the San Francisco 49ers. An offense that was one of the most dynamic in the NFL during a run to the Super Bowl last season has been just ordinary for most of 2024 and was downright bad in a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night that just about ended San Francisco's playoff hopes. San Francisco (6-8) was held to its fewest yards (191) in a regular-season game in eight seasons under coach Kyle Shanahan and its fewest points since Shanahan's debut in 2017 on a rainy night that will be remembered mostly for Campbell walking off the field in the middle of the game with a towel draped over his head. The game also featured San Francisco going three-and-out on four drives as Brock Purdy struggled to connect with his receivers. Deebo Samuel dropped a potential touchdown pass after complaining earlier in the week about a lack of touches. Purdy then missed Ricky Pearsall on an underthrown deep shot in the fourth quarter before throwing an interception into the end zone that ended the Niners' comeback attempt. “I just feel like I had a lot of plays left out there that I could have made for our team,” Purdy said. “I thought the defense and special teams played so good. That’s what’s hurting me is I just feel like I failed the team. I could have been better for our offense and we could have put up more points.” Scoring has been an issue this season for the 49ers, who have been missing key playmakers like Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk for much of the season. San Francisco is scoring 8.5 fewer points per game on offense than the Niners did through 14 games last season. What’s working Red-zone defense. After allowing touchdowns on 13 consecutive red-zone drives over the previous four games, the 49ers kept the Rams out of the end zone on all three drives that went inside the 20. What needs help Receivers. The 49ers failed to get much production from their wide receivers with Purdy going 6 for 20 for 63 yards with an INT and a 19.4 rating when targeting wideouts. Samuel had 16 yards on seven targets with the key drop. Jauan Jennings had two drops and was the target on the interception. Pearsall had one catch for 16 yards on four targets. Stock up LB Dre Greenlaw returned for the first time since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season's Super Bowl. Greenlaw had eight tackles in the first half as he brought needed intensity and physical play that had been missing for much of the season. Stock down Campbell. The 49ers are deciding whether to waive or suspend Campbell, who lost his starting job when Greenlaw returned and then refused to play when he was needed. “His actions from the game just is not something you can do to your team or your teammates and still expect to be a part of our team,” Shanahan said. “We’re working through exactly the semantics of it right now, but we’ll handle the situation appropriately.” Injuries Greenlaw came out of the game feeling OK after leaving with soreness in his knee and Achilles tendon. He is day to day. ... S Ji’Ayir Brown (groin) and LB Dee Winters (neck) are also day to day. ... LT Trent Williams (ankle) is still trying to get back to play after missing the last four games. Shanahan said Williams' recovery has been "a lot slower than anticipated.” Key number 0 — The Niners didn't reach the red zone once all game, with their deepest penetration into Rams territory being when they reached the 27 on a third-quarter field goal drive. This marked the first time since Week 11 in 2010 that the 49ers didn't run a single play inside the opponent's 25. What’s next The 49ers visit Miami on Dec. 22.
