On the pitch Manchester City fell to a shock 2-1 loss to Lyon – but maybe the chap missed out on the goals because he was watching something else.

Social media was ablaze with theories as to what exactly was going on behind the lens.

The accessory appears to be a Samsung VR headset which retails at around £99.

According to its official website, the trendy piece of kit lets users "draw constellations in the night sky, cast a fishing line with precision, fire guns in multiplayer standoffs and more".

The VR headset is designed to be paired up with a mobile phone, allowing users to essentially see what is on their phone before their very eyes.

Seated next to the tech guru at the Etihad appeared to be the same woman who travelled with him to the Amex.

And she looks like she is supporting City for the Euro clash, with what appears to a club crest on her cheek and a scarf around her neck.

If they are indeed fans of the blue half of Manchester, they will have been left disappointed.

Individual blunders from Fabian Delph and Fernandinho were to blame for Lyon’s 2-0 half-time lead.

Bernardo Silva pulled one goal back midway through the second half but City could not find a leveller.
