MANCHESTER CITY are at war with goat-loving Uefa investigations chief Yves Leterme.
England’s champions hit out after it was deemed they breached Financial Fair Play rules.
City will now be referred to a five-man panel of legal experts to decide if they should be banned from the Champions League.
But it was bigwig Leterme who has really got their goat — the ex-Belgian Prime Minister who keeps a herd of the animals in his garden, including two called Trudy and Vikki.
Within minutes of the ruling, the Etihad giants accused Leterme and his team of being biased and “hostile” against them.
The club claim he orchestrated this week’s leaks which reported City were in the Uefa firing line and insist he ignored “irrefutable” evidence the accusations against City were “entirely false”.
In a statement naming and shaming Leterme, City said they were “disappointed, but regrettably not surprised, by the sudden announcement” the case was being referred to the adjudicatory chamber of Uefa’s club finance control body.
