After appealing their two-year UEFA Champions League ban, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have now found out their European fate following an official ruling.
In February this year, the Citizens were handed a two-year ban from competing in Europe, while they were also slapped with a reported fine of £24.9 million (R526 million).
These punishments came after the club was found guilty of "serious breaches" of Financial Fair Play regulations, and resulted in many of City's first-team players being linked with other clubs, as well as Guardiola's future in England being thrown into doubt.
The Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport heard City's appeal, and have now officially announced that their ban has been overturned and that the club will only have to pay a fine of £8 million (R189 million).
