    Uefa does not permit two clubs within an ownership group to play in the same European competition. The club which finished lower in their domestic league must lose their place if there is a conflict.

    Palace were the highest-profile casualty. It was ruled that former co-owner John Textor had decisive influence in both the Eagles and Ligue 1 club Lyon, who had also qualified for the Europa League.

    This could impact clubs such as Manchester United and Nice, who are in the same ownership structure.

    Interesting I didn’t know about that
