The Premier League said that Manchester City used fictitious commercial contracts in schemes that made it possible to inflate revenue and understate expenses by more than £900 million. The club denied the violations during the proceedings and appealed the verdict.

Possible sanctions for Manchester City include a fine, a points deduction, relegation from the league and potential stripping of titles. Later on Wednesday, Manchester City were due to host PSG at the Etihad Stadium in a Champions League match.
