Roberto Mancini declared Manchester City’s Champions League campaign over after seeing his side held 2-2 by Ajax on a contentious evening at the Etihad Stadium. “I don’t think we have a chance,” said the City coach, who went onto the pitch to confront referee Peter Rasmussen at the final whistle. “Eight points if we win both games. If we do that and go through, we can win the Champions League! It would be our destiny. “But I believe in my team always, even maybe sometimes when there are mistakes.” City had two penalty appeals turned down, one for an early challenge on Yaya Toure and the other in injury time after Mario Balotelli appeared to be manhandled in the visitors’ box. Mancini confessed that he had not seen the incident involving Balotelli, but he admitted haranguing the match official about the decision not to let Aguero’s goal stand. “I said it was a goal,” he said in his post-match press conference.
