It's high fives for Man City !
Manchester City will only have to select five rather than eight homegrown players in their 21 strong Champions League squad.
All other teams in the competition have 25 players with a stipulation that eight players are produced domestically.
Which lessens the effect of the UEFA sanctions on them for breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
Dubliner Ian Lawlor - recently called up by Martin O'Neill into the Irish squad - will hope to earn his place in the squad again.
