Having read what he said in German (I can't play the original interview video) I suspect the UK press are spinning it as critical of CAS, especially those outlets saying things like "Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has criticized the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for overturning Manchester City's two-year Champions League ban."
He hasn't criticised CAS. it's criticism of UEFA for acting against us with "no substantive evidence". My translation: "If the CAS judges thought UEFA had acted badly there's no surprise at the outcome."
"Obviously UEFA's reasoning was just weak."
I can't see a basis in the original for "we must do with Manchester City" except for the possibility of meeting them in the semi-final.
Don't blame Hoeness. It's our press again.
Sounds entirely likely. Standard practice to inflame people, and it works.
