User:Falastur2/City in Europe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manchester City is an English football team which has played in European competitions on a number of occasions. Although they do not have the European pedigree of other English teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal, they have represented England in the European Cup (now the Champions League) on one occasion, the UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) on six separate occasions, and the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup twice, winning it once.

Unlike other major English clubs, Manchester City also has a track record of repeated entry into several of the non-UEFA sanctioned European competitions which were run in the 1970s-80s era, including the Anglo-Italian League Cup and the Texaco Cup.

  1. ^ Unable to enter the 1992–93 UEFA Cup by virtue of England's UEFA coefficient having been stripped following the Heysel Stadium Disaster. Though English teams were readmitted to Europe in the 1990–91 season, they entered with England's coefficient set to zero. Thus, English teams had to re-earn England's right to submit multiple teams for European competition, which took five years (the length of time UEFA coefficients are calculated over). Given that UEFA coefficient rules determined that England would reenter Europe with a zero coefficient under any circumstances, it was mathematically impossible for England to earn enough points for City to qualify for Europe from a position which, prior to 1985, would have been entitled them to enter the UEFA Cup.
