Man City slam 'prejudicial' UEFA and will appeal Champions League ban

Manchester City have criticised UEFA after being hit with a two-year ban from the Champions League and confirmed they will appeal the decision.

The Premier League side were hit with a suspension from Europe's premier club competition and a €30 million fine for a "serious" breach of Financial Fair Play rules and failing to cooperate in the governing body's investigation.

The Adjudicatory Chamber found City guilty of misleading UEFA by inflating their sponsorship revenues between 2012 and 2016. City can appeal the decision through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which will either fully or partially uphold the decision or overturn it.
