Vincent Kompany has blasted UEFA's decision to ban Manchester City's supporters from the ground as they were held to a 2-2 draw with CSKA Moscow in Russia.
CSKA were ordered to play the Champions League game behind closed doors after a series of crowd offences, which included racism towards opposition players, but Kompany questioned why the sanction included City's followers.
He told Sky Sports News: "It is little things like, there aren't meant to be any fans there, but there are still 500 fans there for [CSKA]. That isn't a problem, but I don't understand where our fans are. Why can't we bring our fans in?
"The only team being punished here is Manchester City. Little things where I feel we need to speak up sometimes, because it's nonsense. They are the team that got done for racism, not Man City, so why can't our fans come? If there are 200 or 300 people allowed in for money (sponsorship) issues then where are our fans?"
Manuel Pellegrini's side also conceded a controversial late spot kick after Aleksandar Kolarov fouled Seydou Doumbia, and the City skipper blasted the official's decision.
"It leaves a lot of bad feelings," he added. "I guess at the moment everyone wants to hear how we think we should have done better and how we feel our performances need to be better in Europe, but I won't play a part in it.
"The chance in the first half [for Edin Dzeko] was a stonewall penalty and probably a sending-off, and I don't wish that on anyone, but they were the facts. In the second half, I don't understand why the referees want to be heroes, and I'm sure he started the game wanting to do well, but common sense should be prevail."
The defeat leaves City in third in their group.
