Russian reporter chants 'Glory, Glory Man United' in press box as rivals City slump to CSKA defeat
A Russian journalist was almost thrown out of the Etihad Stadium last night after goading Manchester City fans with a chorus of "Glory, Glory Man United."
The reporter broke into song following Yaya Toure's 81st-minute sending off for lashing out at CSKA Moscow's Roman Eremenko during City's 2-1 Champions League defeat.
It wasn't well received by supporters in the Colin Bell Stand.
A steward managed to shut the journalist up before he could be confronted by angry City fans sitting close to the press box.
But, amazingly, the steward was told that he didn't have the authority to eject the Russian reporter from the stadium.
Player ratings: City 1-2 CSKA Moscow
He was allowed to continue working - and was later allowed into the press conference. But City did take the journalist's details and are planning to name and shame him in a report to UEFA.
There has been bad blood between City and CSKA since Toure was racially abused in the Khimki Arena last season.
Asked whether the Russian club took extra satisfaction from last night's win because it leaves City on the brink of Champions League elimination, CSKA coach Leonid Slutski said: "Of course."
