Mancini: I didn’t treat Tevez like a dog

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has dismissed Carlos Tevez’s claim that he treated the player “like a dog”.

The striker made the remark in an Argentinian television interview earlier this week when discussing events on the bench during the infamous Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich in September.

Tevez was accused of refusing to warm up that night and Mancini later said the 28-year-old was “finished” at City as a result.
