Manchester City and PSG are two club-states and given the geographical proximity of their owners, neighbors in the Gulf, it is rather tempting to compare them. One has been under the UAE flag since 2008 and headed by businessman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
The other is owned by QSI, Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, which took over in 2011. City, like PSG, has been worried and even sanctioned for non-compliance with financial fair play, a device set up by UEFA to control club spending.
