A press report revealed a loud surprise regarding the possibility of Manchester City being excluded from the Champions League.
Reports stressed that Manchester City may face a major shock in the Champions League next season due to Arsenal and Liverpool.
Currently, the team occupies second place in the English Premier League, two points behind Liverpool and on goal difference behind Arsenal.
The “Sportbible” website highlighted that the City football team currently owns 47% of the Spanish club Girona, which is close to qualifying for the Champions League next season by topping second place in the Spanish League.
According to the site’s report, Manchester City will have a big problem if Girona participates in the Champions League, because they belong to the same company.
The interesting thing is that this will happen in a very rare case, as Manchester City will be in a lower position in the English Premier League than Girona in the Spanish League, and it will affect Liverpool and Arsenal, who are strongly competing in the race to win the English Premier League.
However, if both City and Girona finished in the same position, City would be able to qualify based on England’s ranking as the first EU country on the access list for their respective competitions.
According to the report, the European Union is currently monitoring the relationship between Girona and Manchester City, and if this relationship affects the English team’s opportunity, City may have to reduce its stake in Girona.
