Manchester City is at the heart of a real earthquake after the revelations of The Athletic concerning the trial which pits the club against the Premier League since 2023. Accused of 115 alleged breaches of the financial rules of the English championship between 2009 and 2018, the Skyblues were found guilty of almost all (114) of the charges linked to the financial rules, according to the British media. However, no sanction has yet been imposed and Manchester City are expected to appeal. While the club quickly reacted by reaffirming its position, Rodri was also questioned about this procedure before the Nations League match between England and Spain.
The former Manchester City player, now at Barça, showed his confidence in his former club and relied on a precedent to explain his serenity. “We experienced an identical situation in 2020, and the club has always shown serenity. We trusted them, and they were acquitted. I hope that justice will be done, but I believe in the innocence of this club, which I know very well, and they assured us that they acted completely legally.Rodri said, in comments reported by Mundo Deportivo. The Spaniard also recalled his personal experience of the matter: “we have the example of 2020 and we remain calm. I’m not saying that this is normal for all teams, but it is true that it has happened to many others and it is clear that things must be done according to the rules. I was there and I know how it works. »
