Can Man City and Girona both play in the Champions League? - Yahoo Sports

Manchester City and Girona are part of the City Football Group .

If both qualify for the Champions League next season , only one of them will be allowed to play.

Uefa rules state an individual or group cannot have “control or influence” over more than one club playing in the same tournament.

If they both qualify, they would almost certainly be investigated by the governing body.

Uefa rules dictate that the team who finishes higher in their domestic league gets to qualify, with the other dropping into the Europa League . If they finish in the same position, the club with the higher Uefa coefficient gets in - which would be Manchester City given they won the tournament last season and are in Europe again this year . But if Girona win La Liga and Manchester City finish second , then last season ’s winners would be unable to play in the Champions League unless Uefa are satisfied..
