Not everything is as simple for the Girondins as it might seem at first glance.

Girona have already secured a place in the first four of the Spanish La Liga for this season, which gives them the right to take part in the Champions League in the coming season.. Despite the possibility of a historic participation in the Champions League, the Girondins may still be able to compete in the UEFA offices.

According to ESPN, Girona will have to seek permission from UEFA to participate in the upcoming Champions League tournament because 47% of the club's shares belong to City Football Group, a holding company that owns Manchester City..

According to the UEFA regulations, since two clubs, which belong to the same leaders, are deprived of the right to play in the same European Cup tournament, the place in the new one is taken by the team that has the highest place in its domestic championship nati. If the teams finish in the same positions, then the ticket will go to the one with the highest coefficient in the club rating.

It is clear that Girona is unlikely to be demoted from the status of a participant in the European League, otherwise the club will have to bring its organizational independence from Manchester City to the UEFA Club Financial Control Authority.
