UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has said their decision to ban Manchester City from all European competitions for two years in 2020 was correct.<\/p>\n

The ban was eventually overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS.<\/p>\n

In February 2020, UEFA\u2019s Club Financial Control Body found City guilty of a breach of Financial Fair Play, FFP, rules.<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions had been accused of falsely inflating sponsorship revenues between 2012 and 2016.<\/p>\n

UEFA slammed a two-year ban and a \u20ac30 million fine on the club.<\/p>\n

But in July 2020, CAS overturned the ban and reduced the fine to \u20ac10 million.<\/p>\n

Ceferin insists UEFA were right to sanction City.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we were right. We wouldn\u2019t decide if we didn\u2019t think we were right,\u201d he told The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a trial lawyer for 25 years, I know that, sometimes, you win a case that you are sure you will lose.<\/p>\n

And, sometimes, you lose a case when you\u2019re sure\u2026 You just simply have to respect, in a serious democracy, the decision of the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to speak about the case in England. But I trust that the decision of our independent body was correct. I didn\u2019t enter into this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
