Jose Mourinho calls Man City overturned UCL ban "disgraceful"

Manchester City were cleared to play in the Champions League next season after their two-year ban from European football was lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Monday.

Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has branded the decision to fine Man City but overturn their European ban "disgraceful" and a "disaster".

Mourinho told Sky Sports: "If Manchester City is not guilty of it, to be punished by some million is a disgrace. If you're not guilty you're not punished. In the other way, if you're guilty you should be banned. In any case, it's a disaster.

"I'm not saying Manchester City is guilty. I'm saying if you're not guilty you don't pay. Even with a pound.

Spurs are currently eight on the league standings with 52 points are seven points away from the top four spot.

Jose Mourinho and his players travel to the Sports Direct Arena on Wednesday to face Newcastle.

Mourinho continued: "I know that money is quite easy for them but still. If you're guilty you should be banned from the competition.

"I'm nobody to know if they're guilty or not. My criticism is for the decision."

Last week, Jose Mourinho winning streak against Arsenal continued after his Tottenham's Hotspur side defeated their London rival in the debry 2-1.

Goals from Heung Mi Son and Toby Alderweireld handed Spurs the victory despite Alexander Lacazette powerful effort in the first half.

Mourinho later added: "I think it is going to be the end of Financial Fair Play because there is no point.

"In this moment, we are speaking about Manchester City but in the past other clubs were in a similar situation and you know the results of it.

"So I think it is better to open the circus door and let everybody enjoy and go inside for free and come out again. Do it with freedom."
