History

Historical Context

UEFA introduced Financial Fair Play in 2009 to curb clubs spending beyond earnings. Manchester City breached the rules, receiving a €30 million fine in February 2020 after investigations revealed hidden sponsorship revenue. The club’s later Premier League charge of 115 breaches and PSG’s recent 4-2 Champions League win keep the scrutiny alive, shaping European competition.
