There’s a rule clubs owned by the same owners cannot be in the same UEFA competition, and Girona and Manchester City are both owned by the same football group owned by a Qatari. So, would Girona not be allowed or would neither be allowed? Or would they be given an exception like RB Leipzig and RB salzburg?

        My bad got mixed up between Toulouse & Milan

        And on the other side Ineos (owners of Nice) were interesting in buying a minority stake in United. But the point stands re- multi club ownership and participation in UCL

          No problem…honest mistake. In the case of Nice and United… seems Ineos would owe nice while Ratcliffe who is an individual would have a share in Utd which is a way around.

          However, you are right about multi club ownership, it’s up to UEFA to stop this but however it’s all about money and city will find a way:

    They would do some bureaucratic tricks to make sure both participate.

    A few seasons back both Energy Drink FC teams were not only in the same competition, but even in the same group.

    So if that was allowed, I don’t see any issues with any of these types of situations in the future.

    Toulouse and AC milan, leipzig and salzbourg all play in european football despite having the same owners. They can definetly if they are willing to change their administrative structure.

        But potentially they can easily play in same competition but nobody will stop them anyway. Same applies for Brighton and Royale Union already, dirty cheaters.
