A legal point of view could intervene in any possible 'conflict of interest' scenario as UEFA differs 4 ways in Ownerships to PL presently.
1.shareholders’ voting rights.
2.having the right to appoint or remove a majority of the members of the administrative, management or supervisory body of the club.
3.being a shareholder and alone controlling a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights pursuant to an agreement entered into with other shareholders of the club.
4.being able to exercise by 'any means a decisive influence' in the decision making of the club.
It is the fourth point that creates some uncertainty as what is a “decisive influence”? Ultimately, if UEFA decides that an owner HAS sufficient control of two or more clubs then they'll NOT be allowed to both participate in UEFA competition end of.
Example - That could be the likely scenario facing Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig. Both are owned by Red Bull and both could finish in the qualifying places for the UEFA Champions League in their respective leagues.
So IF such a situation ever happened you'll get your definitive answer Cherry,but don't hold your breath !
