The Premier League giant was imposed with punishment by UEFA, European football’s governing body, for breaches of their financial fair play rules. City have also been fined 30m euros (£25m).

Meanwhile, City have appealed in a statement said, "disappointed but not surprised by the outcome of a prejudicial process and would now seek an impartial judgment by commencing CAS proceedings at the earliest opportunity".
