UEFA warned over fall-out from charges facing Blues

Earlier this year, the Blues were hit with a string of grave accusations from the Premier League, including nearly a decade of misrepresenting their finances to the relevant football authorities.

The club vehemently deny any suggestion they have not adhered to competition rules, and will be able to defend their position at an independent tribunal that will assess the evidence.

The lengthy investigation by the Premier League followed a similar look into City by UEFA, who concluded in 2020 that the Blues had breached their financial fair play rules and should be banned from the Champions League for two years.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturned this decision - the only thing City were deemed guilty of was not cooperating with the UEFA investigation, which the club insisted was flawed - but this verdict was not enough to clear City's name in the court of public opinion.
