Manchester City holds its breath. Accused of having violated more than 100 rules of the Premier League’s financial fair play regulations, the English giant risks very big if he is found guilty. Asked about the Cityzens case, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin did not wish to say more on this matter. On the other hand, he affirms that UEFA was right to impose an exclusion on City from the European Cups for two years, before the CAS ruled in favor of the Mancunians.

“We know we were right. We wouldn’t make a decision if we didn’t think we were right. As a litigator for 25 years, I know that sometimes you win a case that you are sure to lose. We must simply respect the court’s decision in a serious democracy. I don’t want to talk about the affair in England. But I am convinced that the decision of our independent body was correct. I was not involved in this decision. They (Manchester City fans) want to know what is happening and what the consequences are, but I don’t want to get into that concrete process because I don’t know what the Premier League is doing. I really don’t want to criticize, or anything like that. It wouldn’t be fair.”he confided to Telegraph.
