Pellegrini baffled by Manchester City's Champions League form

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says it is "difficult to understand" why his team played so badly in their 2-1 defeat at home to CSKA Moscow.

His side are on the brink of Champions League elimination, needing to beat Roma and Bayern Munich in their final two matches and hope other results go their way.

The Chilean also refuses to blame the performance of Greek referee Tasos Sidiropolous, who turned down a late penalty appeal by Sergio Aguero.
