Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is so confident the club will win their appeal against a two-year UEFA ban from European football.
City’s appeal against the ban was heard last month at the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) and a decision is expected by 13 July.

Guardiola remain so confident City will be competing in Europe’s premier competition next season.
“The intention is, every season, to play in the Champions League and do the best as possible. It’s not about what is going to happen on Monday. It’s not about what’s going to happen on Monday. On Monday we’ll know. I’m so confident – because I know, I am here and I saw the arguments of the club – that next season we will be there,” Guardiola told British media.
“But we have to wait. After [the decision], I will give my opinion and the club will give a statement.,” he added
