City hit with £50m UEFA fine

CITY-CAPITAL-CUP LONDON, England, May 6- Manchester City have reportedly been handed a £50million fine from UEFA and will also see their Champions League squad for next season reduced after being found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play rules.


European football’s governing body are looking to clamp down on overspending, with the Citizens having found themselves in the crosshairs, although the Premier League side are expected to fight the charge.
