Manchester City fans were on Monday morning celebrating their club's successful appeal against a two-year Champions League ban.
City's name has now been cleared of charges of “serious breaches” of Financial Fair Play by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
It brings to an end their long-running battle with European football’s governing body and removes the cloud that has hung over them since the publication of supposed leaked emails and documents in 2018.
A fine, albeit reduced, remains but the club will feel vindicated with Monday's decision.
Here's how the verdict has gone down among the fan base...

A victory over the old order of European football, the fallen giants who can no longer compete with the upstarts such as City.
