Manchester City's two year ban from playing in Europe has been lifted.
City received the ban and a 30 million euro fine in February after UEFA ruled that the club had breached Financial Fair Play regulations.
The court of arbitration for sport has overturned the ban today and reduced the fine so City will pay 10 million because they failed to cooperate with the UEFA investigations.
It means that that the clubs finishing in the top four of the Premier League this season will qualify for next season's Champions League.

The Tony Martin-trained six-year-old was a difficult one for punters to find, winning at odds of 28/1, but there was no fluke about it. She came home an easy seven-length winner from the Niall Madden-trained Forgetthesurprise with Loudest Whisper, the 9/4 favourite, in third place.
