UEFA must give racism the red card! Angry Toure hits out over vile monkey chants in Moscow as City lodge complaint.

Yaya Toure was subjected to racist chanting and monkey noises as Manchester City beat CSKA Moscow in the Russian capital.
Chants could be heard from the home fans as City used two goals from Sergio Aguero to come from behind and take a vital win in the Champions League.
And City have confirmed they will make an official complaint to UEFA about the abuse aimed at Toure.
'It is quite disappointing when you're talking about people continuing to do that,' Toure said. 'It is unbelievable and very sad on my part.

Making his feelings clear: Yaya Toure tells referee Ovidiu Hategan about the abuse

Upset: Toure gestures towards the fans

Time to act: Toure has called on UEFA to take action against fans who racially abuse players

Target: Yaya Toure received racist abuse from sections of the crowd in Moscow

Respect: Toure wore a 'No to racism' armband

'I think UEFA need to do something strong. It would be nice if we could stop that.
'Some of the songs today were quite stupid and I think UEFA have to do the work. Every time we say something it continues, something has to be done to stop it.'
Asked what action he would like to see the European governing body take, Toure called for stronger punishment in place of the often small fines which have been handed out in the past.
'They need to do a lot,' he said. 'I think UEFA has to be stronger, and hold all the clubs and all the fans that do that (responsible). Maybe they have a stadium ban.
'For me as an African player it is always said to hear something like that and we need to do something about it.'

Abuse: Manchester City's Yaya Toure is believed to have been subjected to monkey chants

Focused on the game: Toure did not seem to let the abuse affect him as City won

After the game Toure took to Twitter to thank the fans who had supported him and said he would not let the abuse affect him.
He Tweeted: 'Thank you for your support! Hate or racism cannot affect me when so many people are showing me love and support on a daily basis! I believe in football institutions, I know decision makers will take their responsibilties and show A RED CARD TO RACISM'
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany - who missed the game through injury - also took to Twitter to voice his disgust at the abuse subjected to his teammates.
He Tweeted: 'Racist chants again in Moscow today.. We've all said enough. @UEFAcom, @GovernmentRF, CSKA, all eyes are on you now.. #StopRacism'

Toure's manager Manuel Pellegrini said he had not heard the chanting.
'I didn't know about that, but it is a pity to hear that kind of thing,' he said.
The chants did not dim City's celebrations after a key win in their bid to escape the group stages of the Champions League for the first time.
With Bayern Munich looking like the class of Group D, it appears a straight battle between City and the Russians to join them in the next round, and avoiding defeat on a much-criticised pitch in Moscow was City's minimum target.
'It was very important,' Toure said 'This was a very difficult place to practice good football but full credit to the team. We worked hard and it was not too easy.

At the double: Sergio Aguero scored both of City's goals

In good form: Aguero has scored four goals in the last two games

'We knew it was going to be difficult but we played very well as played as a team.'
Former Manchester United player Zoran Tosic gave CSKA the lead against the run of play, but Aguero replied immediately before adding what proved the winner just before half-time.
Both teams had goals ruled out in the second half and a key save from Joe Hart in injury time preserved the points.
'Sergio is a fantastic player, an amazing player,' Toure said of the match winner.
Pellegrini said he had demanded at least a point from his players, and was delighted to take all three.
'I'm very happy,' he said. 'I said yesterday this pitch is very difficult to play football on so having three points from this match is very important.'

Praise: Manuel Pellegrini was pleased to see his side come from behind to win

The Chilean insisted he had not worried when CSKA snatched the lead, and he certainly did not need to as Aguero required just a few seconds to restore parity.
'I think what happened in those minutes was they had an incredible long ball from the goalkeeper and they scored the only time they had arrived to our box," he said.
'I was not too concerned about that and fortunately 'Kun' immediately drew it level.'
Pellegrini is now hoping the win is the foundation City need to advance.
'This is not the last game but it is very important," he said. "Now we play the next games at home and we can qualify if we win those games. I talked before the match with the players and said we might not win this match but we must at least not lose it because then it would be very complicated.
'These three points do not put us in the next round but it is an important win.'
