The "Manchester City" team was unpleasantly surprised by the UEFA-imposed penalty for organizational errors. Last month, the English team's players in the Europa League match against "Sporting" were late to come out onto the field after halftime by 60 seconds, and tournament officials presented them with a bill of £25,000. The "Man City" team was also stunned by the news that UEFA imposed only a £16,000 fine on the "Porto" team, whose fans insulted Roberto Mancini's players with racist chants in the same tournament. According to representatives of the Premier League, these violations are incomparable.
