"This can't happen in a top club - to refuse to go in to help his team-mates. What I said to Carlos is between me, him and the team.
"But if we want to improve as team Carlos can't play with us. With me, he is finished."
He explained that he asked the Argentine to come on with 35 minutes to play telling him that if he came on they could change the result from their losing 2-0 position.
Mancini said: "He refused to warm up and again refused to go.
UPDATE: According to The Mirror, Tevez has given his old standby of a defense to Sky (via an interpreter):
"I want to leave because of family reasons but I keep trying to do my best."
Family reasons? His family just joined him in Manchester two weeks ago. So does he want to get away from them now after claiming he had to leave to be closer to them back in May? And how can you say that refusing to play in a
Champions League match is trying to do your best? It's like Tevez is defying logic on purpose and trolling Man City at this point.
ust to mess with Mancini a little more, Tevez has released the following statement claiming that he didn't refuse to play (via Soccernet):
"I would like to apologise to all Manchester City fans, with whom I have always had a strong relationship, for any misunderstanding that occurred in Munich. They understand that when I am on the pitch I have always given my best for the club.
"In Munich on Tuesday I had warmed up and was ready to play. This is not the right time to get into specific details as to why this did not happen. But I wish to state that I never refused to play.
"There was some confusion on the bench and I believe my position may have been misunderstood. Going forward I am ready to play when required and to fulfill my obligations."
