UEFA have shared Manchester City's huge fine for breaching financial fair play rules among other Champions League clubs.

The first batch of payments from penalised clubs City, Paris Saint-Germain and Zenit St Petersburg will be distributed among the Champions League and Europa League clubs who complied with the rules last season.

European Clubs' Association chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "It was an agreement between UEFA and the clubs that it was money belonging to the clubs."

UEFA president Michel Platini said: "The framework for financial fair play must be dynamic, it must evolve constantly, which is why I have convened an important round table on the subject with your representatives at UEFA headquarters on 13 October.

"We will see whether any imperfections can be ironed out and whether there is room to further improve the system."

Manchester City start this season's Champions League campaign with a daunting trip to Bayern Munich on September 17.
