Manchester City could face disciplinary action. According to L'Équipe, the Manchester club could lose up to four of their eight Premier League titles due to financial breaches. Mundo Deportivo, for its part, speaks of a "scandal" and lists the clubs who would be crowned champions in place of the Manchester club.

According to 90min, the Premier League has reportedly found Manchester City guilty of 114 breaches of financial fair play rules. Portuguese daily Record, which has reworked the winners' table for fun, gave no further details in its headline alone.

The Spanish and French media agree on the figure of four titles stripped, but do not specify which ones. The clubs affected by a potential redistribution of honours have not yet reacted.
