Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini escapes UEFA action for confronting referee after Ajax draw

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini will not face disciplinary action after confronting the referee following his side's controversial Champions League draw with Ajax.

European governing body UEFA have confirmed the incident was not reported by either referee Peter Rasmussen or their match delegate at the Etihad Stadium.

Mancini came onto the field after a stormy final few minutes in which Sergio Aguero had a goal disallowed and Mario Balotelli had a penalty appeal turned down.

A UEFA spokesperson said: "Nothing was reported neither by the delegate nor by the referee. No disciplinary proceedings are opened."
