WHAT HAPPENED?
The Cityzens' legal battle against the Premier League in the Financial Fair Play case began on Monday, September 16. The reigning English champions discovered in 2023, following a long-running investigation, that they would be charged with alleged FFP breaches. The charges against them date back to 2009 – shortly after Sheikh Mansour took over the club.

As the legal proceedings began on Monday, La Liga president Javier Tebas urged the Premier to heavily sanction the Manchester club if they are found guilty of flouting the rules. He warned the English top division against discriminating between big and small clubs and claimed that the league would lose their authority if they failed to impose strict punishment on City.
WHAT JAVIER TEBAS SAID
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the La Liga chief said, "The Premier League shouldn't give in to pressure, right? Manchester City is just another club, and when you lead an association, you have to act. The Premier League shouldn't differentiate between big or small, or important and ‘non-important’, clubs.
"Manchester City is a member of the association that has committed irregularities and should receive the sanction it deserves. If not, the competition's authority will be lost."
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY?
Pep Guardiola's side are off to a flying start in the 2024/25 campaign having comprehensively won their first four league matches. They will be next seen in action against Inter on Wednesday in their Champions League opener.
