Manchester City and Girona may face scrutiny from UEFA regarding their eligibility to compete in next season’s Champions League if the latter qualifies. Both clubs are currently aiming for their highest possible finishes in their respective leagues, with City guaranteed a top-four spot in the Premier League and Girona still uncertain about their European competition fate.
The issue arises from both clubs being under the City Football Group umbrella, potentially violating UEFA’s regulations regarding executive control and information sharing between participating clubs in UEFA competitions. If UEFA rules against the CFG clubs, the Champions League spot would go to the higher finisher in their domestic leagues. Girona’s upcoming game against FC Barcelona could have implications for their potential European qualification.
Manchester City will be looking to bounce back in the Champions League next season after their quarter-final exit this year. With a Premier League and FA Cup double still within reach, City will be focused on securing their fate in the top-flight with four matches remaining. The club could make history by winning the title for a fourth successive season if they win all their remaining fixtures.
