Pellegrini casts doubt on Man City's Champions League game

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says heavy rain could force his team's match against CSKA Moscow to be postponed due to the state of the pitch at the Khimki Arena, reports BBC Sport. He said: "I've just seen it and it's unbelievable that the most important competition in the world is allowed to be played on this pitch. We must be praying tomorrow because if it rains it will be impossible to play.

"It is unbelievable that we can play on this pitch. I think the most important competition in the world deserves a better pitch."
