The goals of the Algerian international did not stop the Veltins-Arena club from tipping in front of Pep Guardiola's men on Wednesday
Schalke 04 midfielder Nabil Bentaleb expressed his disappointment after his team's 3-2 defeat at Manchester City in the first leg of the first leg of the Champions League, sixteen.
Less than five minutes from Wednesday's game, the Royal Blues gave up their advantage to greet their visitors in the Premier League.
Bentaleb had given the hosts a first-half lead after canceling Sergio Aguero's strike with a double from the penalty spot, but the Citizens fought back with Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling for a spectacular comeback.

The loss reduced Schalke's chances of progressing in the European elite competition, but the 24-year-old urged his team-mates to believe and continue to fight.
"Yesterday's disappointing result, we must believe and continue to fight," Bentaleb wrote on Instagram.
