Lionel Messi claims Manchester City have been "screwed" by Champions League ban

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has suggested Manchester City will be “screwed” by their two-year Champions League ban. The Barcelona captain linked with a move to Etihad a few weeks ago, however, he may not think about the move in the next two years. UEFA handed down a two-year European suspension for breaking FFP regulations. City are taking their case to the CAS (the Court of Arbitration for Sport) in a bid to get the decision overturned. Messi reacted to the news. "It is surprising because nobody thought that such a thing could happen," he told Mundo Deportivo. "Paris [Saint-Germain] paid a fine or I don't know how it went. If in the end City does not play the Champions League for what it is, with the players, the club, and the money it spends, it will be weird. "There are many players who may look for an exit or perhaps not. The Champions League is very attractive so two years without playing it is screwed."  Source: The Mirror Join us on Telegram!
