Back in February, Manchester City were banned from UEFA tournaments by European football’s governing body for the next two seasons after being found guilty of “serious breaches” of Financial Fair Play rules, as well as being fined £24.9m, as reported by Sky Sports.
The Etihad Stadium club swiftly submitted an appeal against the two-year suspension to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and released a statement strongly condemning the findings from UEFA’s club financial control body (as per The Guardian).
Are you confident that Man City's UEFA ban will be overturned?
Yes
No
If the appeal is declared successful before next season’s Champions League begins, Manchester City will likely be allowed into the competition should they qualify for it through their domestic placing.
These City fans on Twitter were buzzing after this afternoon’s announcement, with some declaring strong faith in chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak to inspire an overturning of UEFA’s decision:
