UEFA president: We don’t hate Man City

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin insists they respect Manchester City and their place in European football.

City have banned by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body from competing in European competitions for two years over breaches of Financial Fair Play.

But Ceferin told Sky Sports: “As with other clubs, they are our asset, I respect them.

“I don’t want to say that, ‘now we don’t like Manchester City’. We like them, they are our club. But this process is a separate thing, that I don’t interfere with.

“I cannot comment [on] Manchester City, or any other case, out of two reasons. One reason is because I don’t know anything about it and the second is, it’s not correct for a president to comment [on] the case that is dealt by an independent body. So, absolutely impossible to say anything more.”
