UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has admitted he was "disappointed" when the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the decision to ban Manchester City from competing in Europe.
The Blues were temporarily expelled from the Champions League by UEFA for breaching their Financial Fair Play regulations back in 2019.
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled a year later that the club did not disguise equity funding as sponsorship contributions.
City breached FFP rules in 2014 and the club were punished by UEFA. Despite the Blues reaching a settlement agreement with European football's governing body, the case was reopened in 2018 following revelations of inflated sponsorship deals, which were published in the German magazine Der Spiegel.
