In the Premier League, they finished 11 points behind champions and local rivals Manchester United and were eliminated from the League Cup in the third round by Aston Villa. The club played in the UEFA Champions League for the third time and only the second since the competition was rebranded in 1992, and were drawn in a group with Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Ajax. Quickly labelled the "group of death", City went winless in the group – recording three draws and three defeats – and finished bottom, failing to advance either to the knockout stages or the Europa League. On 14 April 2013, Manchester City defeated holders Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals and reached the final where they would face relegated Wigan Athletic. It was City's tenth final appearance and second in three years (after their triumph over Stoke City in 2011). The final was played on 11 May, where City suffered a shock 1–0 defeat at the hands of the Latics due to a late goal from Ben Watson. Pablo Zabaleta was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, making him only the third player to be dismissed in a final. As a result, City ended their season without any silverware, with the exception of the Community Shield at the beginning of the season. On 13 May 2013, two days after the FA Cup final defeat, and exactly a year to the day since winning the Premier League title the season before, Roberto Mancini was sacked from his role as manager after a three-and-a-half-year tenure, with Manchester City stating that he had "failed to achieve any of the club's targets, with the exception of qualification for next season's Champions League". https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22507128 Roberto Mancini: Manchester City sack manager 14 May 2013 BBC Sport 24 June 2021 2 May 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210502100938/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22507128 live His assistant, Brian Kidd, took charge until the end of the season.
