Man City complain to UEFA after supporters hurl racist abuse at Balotelli during win over Porto UEFA are awaiting their match delegate's report before deciding whether to take action against alleged racial abuse during Manchester City's Europa League win at Porto. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/feb/Manchester-United.jpg" border="5" /> Manchester United players (blue) celebrate a goal during Thursday night's Europa League match against Ajax Amsterdam in Holland. Pic/AFP City made an official complaint after striker Mario Balotelli was subjected to apparent monkey noises from the crowd during their 2-1 success at the Estadio do Dragao on Thursday night. After the game, Balotelli informed a club official he felt he had been abused. City midfielder Yaya Toure also backed up Balotelli's claim by saying he "heard something" from the stands. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/feb/Mario-Balotelli.jpg" border="5" /> Airborne: City's Mario Balotelli (centre) attempts to control the ball.

"I think in future it will be okay, they will change their minds and the game will become more open. Football is football and the fans come to enjoy the game, and we don't want things like this to happen. The matter made for a sour end to first leg of the last-32 contest and overshadowed a fine comeback by City. The Premier League leaders trailed to the Portuguese champions at the interval after a 27th-minute strike from Silvestre Varela. An own goal by Alvaro Pereira, who had been under pressure from Balotelli, gifted them an equaliser after 55 minutes and substitute Sergio Aguero snatched victory six minutes from time. Valencia blow for Man Utd Man United manageru00a0 Alex Ferguson admitted it is "a bad blow" to lose Antonio Valencia for four weeks with a hamstring strain. Valencia had only been on the field for 10 minutes following his introduction as a second-half substitute. After playing an integral role in Javier Hernandez's goal in United's 2-0 win over Ajax in Amsterdam, Valencia was immediately replaced. Ashley Young was also on target for United.
