Man City sponsor Etihad says considering legal action against Premier League
UAE airline Etihad, Manchester City's main sponsor, has said it is considering legal action against the Premier League after the bombshell ruling against the English football giant over Premier League financial rule breaches. It was announced this week that the Abu Dhabi-backed club was found guilty of more than 100 breaches of financial rules in the world's richest domestic league.
Manchester City forward Macy Schultz scored a back-heel flicked goal, setting Danish champions HB Køge up for a dominant 5-1 victory over Servette in the Women's Champions League on Thursday. The American forward's clever strike in the ninth minute opened the scoring, as HB Køge went on to secure a convincing win in the second round of games in the 18-team league phase.
Inter Milan captain Ivana Andres Sanz scored the late equalizer with a second-half goal in the 1-1 draw against Austria Vienna. Earlier in the week, Manchester City returned to action, marking a seismic period for the club. The women's team, which won domestic league and cup doubles last season, is now aiming for its first Women's Champions League title.
The club is expected to challenge the Premier League's financial monitoring verdict, which they claim violated rules between 2009-18. Manchester City’s women's team is not implicated in the scandal. In another part of the Women's Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain takes on OH Leuven of Belgium.
