It's fair to say that Manchester City and their supporters do not have the easiest of relationships with UEFA, European football's governing body.
Whether it be banning City fans at short notice for an away game at CSKA Moscow, failing to adequately deal with racist abuse suffered by City players or seemingly going after City over alleged Financial Fair Play breaches while letting other clubs off scot-free, UEFA have always found a way of rubbing City up the wrong way.
That ill feeling is unlikely to change any time soon. However, UEFA may have done City a favour as they look to fend off Liverpool's title challenge and win a fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
