Graeme Souness has torn into the Manchester City squad in the wake of their Champions
League loss to CSKA Moscow, claiming the players 'are not world class'.

City went a goal down early on, and despite a fantastic free-kick from Yaya Toure,
suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to put their chances of qualifying for the knock-out stages
in serious jeopardy.Speaking after the match on Sky Sports, Souness said: 'A short few months ago
we were talking about these players being world class but we can tell now that they're not
world class because world class players respond and these players have been found wanting.'

The Manchester City players complain to the referee at the final whistle at the Etihad Stadium

Yaya Toure looks outraged after the referee brandishes him a red card during the second half

'You get the early warning and after that you get yourself back into it, you think it's going to be one way.

'But they were second to everything. There's no argument - the best team won tonight regardless of the sendings off.'

Manchester City now have to host Bayern Munich in their next European fixture, before travelling to
Rome in their final game, where it is certain they will have to produce a result to qualify.
