      One is outright owned by Red Bull and the other is a major sponsor with the 50+1 rule. So there is no conflict. Not the same with City and Girona who are owned outright by City Group.

      Earlier this season, Milan and Toulouse were still allowed to play in Europa League, despite being owned by RedBird. Both teams didn't face each other in the knockout playoffs due to the rules.

    Melbourne City also won the A-League at the same year as NYCFC.
    Finally, there's Yokohama Marinos from J1 League. They were playing in the Champions League Final (of course, AFC) against Al Ain (and won 2-1 on the 1st leg).
