Man City vs UEFA: Reports suggest City has no evidence in appeal

According to a source with knowledge on the matter, provided UEFA don’t cave in, they should win at CAS (Court of Arbitration) because City has no evidence at all.

The Cityzens were banned by UEFA in February for "serious breaches" of financial monitoring rules and failing to cooperate with investigators.

The club then made their intention to appeal the decision known immediately but their plans were put on hold following the suspension of football.

Now, the hearing will be held by video conference due to coronavirus restrictions from Monday to Wednesday (June 8-10).

With everyone looking to report on this, the Financial Times have tried to predict the CAS outcome, and they’ve quoted an unnamed source who believes Man City are in a weak position.

According to the paper, a person with knowledge of UEFA’s investigations commented that “provided Uefa don’t cave in, they should win at CAS… City has no evidence at all.”

UEFA has been under pressure, most publicly from La Liga president Javier Tebas, to impose a harder line on clubs backed by states, like City and Qatari-owned Paris Saint-Germain, so this will be a case well followed.
