Not a single team is privileged

If you do not like to cooperate with the European football organization, then you will not play its club tournaments in the future, no matter how famous your name is.
Eight days ago (almost) all media with disbelief reported that Manchester city is thrown out from the European Cups events on two years. They are accused of high inflow of sponsorship in their business books, falsifying documents with 'serious breach of rules from 2012 until 2016' and refused to collaborate with the investigation in the ongoing process. On top of that, the English champions also had to say goodbye to 30 million euros announcing that this (unfair treatment) will be appealed to the highest sporting court. Considering that the club is banned from competing at 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, they are free to start playing knockout stage at the Champions league from next Wednesday.
