City's director of football Txiki Begiristain has insisted that City can cope with the sanctions imposed by UEFA's financial fair play restrictions. City have had to cope with a transfer spending limit of £60million plus a £60 million finel and a reduction in their Champions League squad size from 25 players to 21.
Despite being handed such a tough group Begiristain has insisted we can cope.
Speaking in Monaco to ITV he said;"It has not affected us in the transfer window, we have signed the players that we wanted. I don't think it will affect us in the final result.
"We knew where we wanted to improve and we got it."
He then added that City's group was the toughest out of all eight groups in this seasons Champions League.
"Last season Bayern were first, we were second and we also played CSKA, but the fourth one was very tough, a very strong team in Roma. All the clubs try to play good football, so it will be an amazing group.
"It's a very tough group, they are all very tough. I think this is the toughest group, all the clubs try to play good football, Roma have done very well."
