BBC Sport looks forward to Monday's verdict on Manchester City's appeal against their two-year Champions League ban.
On 14 February, the independent Adjudicatory Chamber of Uefa's Club Financial Control Body said City had broken the rules by"overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to Uefa between 2012 and 2016".City were banned from European football for two years from next season and were fined 30m euros .There are a number of different outcomes, including a reduced, partially suspended punishment.
On the other hand, should City receive some sort of punishment but it is stated there was no intent to cheat and their breaches were purely technical, the club will feel justified in adopting the stance they have taken and move on with confidence, even if the arguments around them will continue to rage.
Over the past four years, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all failed to qualify for the Champions League. Tottenham will miss out next season.
