MANCHESTER, England — If Manchester City wants to finally win a first Champions League title, it will have to start taking the competition a bit more seriously — on and off the field. When a pass by the Brazilian midfielder was intercepted around the halfway line, Lyon charged forward. “He led us.”In the off-season it appeared Lyon would lose Fekir to Liverpool until talks over a 60 million euro ($70 million) transfer broke down. And now City has become the first English side to lose four consecutive Champions League matches, following defeats in the round of 16 and quarterfinals last season. “We had this type of crowd in the Champions League before and we were able to win the game.”——More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/tag/apf-Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP–Sports
