Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini conceded the club's Champions League ambitions were effectively "finished" after a 2-2 home draw with Ajax.<br />City have two points from four matches and must win their two remaining games to have any hope of going through.<br />"Unfortunately we took only one point and now I think it is finished for the Champions League," said Mancini.<br />The Italian confronted match officials at full-time after a late City effort was ruled out for offside.<br /><br />Sergio Aguero's sharp finish from Aleksandar Kolarov's cross three minutes from time appeared to have capped City's comeback from 2-0 down, only for the assistant referee's flag to deny them a winner.<br />"It was a goal," said Mancini. "The referee and his staff were really poor. I said to the referee 'congratulations - it was a goal'.<br />"I'm not the first or the last [to speak to the referee]. In football it can happen."<br />After storming on to the pitch to remonstrate with referee Peter Rasmussen, Mancini appeared to lose his cool as a cameraman followed him on to the pitch at the final whistle.<br />Mancini explained: "The cameraman went to film me and he followed me off the pitch.<br />"It is not a film about me, it is the game. I told him it was finished."<br />Despite his grievances with the officials, Mancini admitted that his own team's failings had contributed to their downfall.<br />Sloppy marking at corners allowed Ajax captain Siem de Jong to put his team 2-0 up inside 17 minutes, before City pulled goals back through Yaya Toure and Aguero.
