La Liga President Javier Tebas was let irate after the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned Manchester City’s two-year Champions League ban for breaches of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations.
UEFA’s initial punishment of a two-year ban from all European competitions was overturned on Monday morning after City successfully appealed the decision to CAS, and will now be allowed to take part in next season’s Champions League after securing another top-two Premier League finish.
UEFA had charged Man City in February after deeming the Etihad Stadium outfit to have committed ‘serious breaches’ of their regulations between 2012 and 2016 by falsely inflating their sponsorship revenues, however CAS’ ruling cleared the Citizens of “disguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions” in their verdict.
