Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak says the club hold no grudges against Uefa following their Financial Fair Play row.

City were initially handed a two-year ban from European competition for alleged FFP breaches. The Premier League side successfully overturned the ban after taking their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Al Mubarak says the club want to move on and build a 'constructive relationship' with European football's governing body.

"Life is too short to carry grudges," he said. "It is an important competition. It is one of the most prestigious competitions in the world of sports and it is a competition we want to win and it is a competition we have to respect in order to win.

"And this was a challenge. It's behind us, end of story as far as I am concerned.

"I am focused on one thing - how I can help this club compete in this competition and win it, and how to have a constructive relationship with UEFA. I think it's the only way to go."
