Europa League! Surprise As AC Milan European Ban Overturned By Court

Italian side AC Milan have had their one-year ban from European football overturned.

Uefa had issued the punishment after deciding Milan had breached a Financial Fair Play requirement to break even after spending £200m on transfers.

But the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) partially upheld the club’s appeal and asked Uefa to issue a more “proportionate disciplinary measure”.

The Italians are now free to play in this season’s Europa League.

Milan had qualified for the group stages of the competition after finishing sixth in Serie A.
