• The former Manchester City midfielder has rejected such claims
• Manchester City will host Real Madrid in the first game of their UEFA Champions League semi-final clash

Former Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure, has furiously reacted to his ex-agent's claims that he placed a curse on the club's UEFA Champions League ambitions.

Dimitri Seluk, Toure's former agent, stated on Monday morning that the Ivory Coast legend has lifted the curse after patching up his differences with City manager Pep Guardiola.

Following Guardiola and City's 2020 UEFA Champions League final defeat, reports went rife that Toure had cursed the club.

However, after years of being silent on the issue, the Tottenham youth team coach has rejected such claims advising the media to disregard the comments of his ex-agent.

"My former agent is being quoted by the media about a ‘curse’. Please don’t associate me with this nonsense and lazy stereotypes about African curses!? Media… move on please. This man does not represent me in any way. Amplifying these stereotypes is harmful," wrote Toure on Twitter.

Manchester City are set to face Real Madrid in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium.

The Ivorian Man City legend and his representative were said to have fallen out with manager, Pep Guardiola in 2018 amid claims the player had been mistreated.
