Mancini "not worried" by Sporting defeat

Roberto Mancini has said that he is "not worried" by Manchester City's loss to Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League last night.

City fell 1-0 in Portugal in the first leg of their last-16 tie after a second-half goal from Xandau.

"I don't think we deserved to lose but we have another 90 minutes and I think it will be a different game," Mancini said.

"We still have a big chance. Hopefully we'll have a chance to score and I think we'll score.

"I am not worried. We will go through in the Europa League."

City host Sporting in the return leg on Thursday, March 15.
