City overturns 2-year Champions League ban. MORE:
GENEVA — Manchester City successfully overturned its two-year ban from the Champions League on Monday in a surprising legal victory.
CAS plans to publish a detailed written verdict within days which could help explain why UEFA's case did not comply with its own internal rules. City's win guarantees tens of millions of dollars in UEFA prize money next season. It also protects against players leaving to seek Champions League action with another club.“The club welcomes the implications of today’s ruling as a validation of the club’s position and the body of evidence that it was able to present,” City said in a statement.
The system was used to ban several clubs, including Galatasaray in 2016, from one season of UEFA competitions. City was the first club to be banned for two years. The urgent ruling came one month after a three-day hearing held by video link between Switzerland and England. A full verdict detailing the evidence, expert witness testimony and the judges’ reasons is due within days.
City never disputed the documents were authentic, but argued the evidence was stolen and reported out of context.
