Manchester City’s tweet about Champions League tickets has all of their fans making the same joke.
The Premier League champions were charged with multiple breaches of Financial Fair Play rules by the Premier League on Monday, with the club potentially facing a points deduction if found guilty. While City expressed their “surprise” at the accusations in a statement, their fans joked that the club may not play in Europe for a while.
Shortly after the Premier League announced the charges, City’s supporter services account tweeted information about tickets for their upcoming Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.

Just last month, Italian giants Juventus were slapped with a 15-point deduction in Serie A after being found guilty of capital gains violations. A similar penalty for City this season would see Pep Guardiola’s side drop from second to eighth in the table.
