Manchester City's first season in the Champions League is not looking good after they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in Germany on Tuesday.
Roberto Mancini's men lost to two goals from Mario Gomez before half-time, while some off field squabbles made it a miserable night for the Italian and his travelling contingent.
City were unlucky not to be awarded at least one penalty in the first half, with their former defender Jerome Boateng twice guilty of late challenges, and things got worse when Gomez opened the scoring.
Joe Hart managed to parry efforts from both Frank Ribery and Thomas Muller, but Gomez was on hand to make it third time lucky.
Eight minutes later, it was 2-0.
Toni Kroos fired over a free-kick that Daniel van Buyten flicked goalwards. Again, Hart saved, but again Gomez was prowling and stabbed the ball home.
City went in search of a goal in the second half but Bayern looked dangerous, prompting Mancini to replace Edin Dzeko with Nigel de Jong.
The Bosnian seemed to have words with his boss, before Carlos Tevez got embroiled in the row.
Tevez reportedly refused to warm up and exchanged words with compatriot Pablo Zabaleta on a wretched night for City.
It later emerged that the 27-year-old had refused to play, having been left out, with Mancini telling the gathered press that the former Manchester United striker was "finished as a City player."
"He refused to come on. One player refused to go on - I can't accept this," Mancini said.
"It is impossible. I asked him to go in and help with the team. We have 11 players. Maybe he was disappointed because he didn't play (from the start)."
