Manchester City fans were on Monday morning celebrating their club's successful appeal against a two-year Champions League ban.

City's name has now been cleared of charges of “serious breaches” of Financial Fair Play by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Meanwhile, 'RIP FFP' was trending on Twitter.
