Rodri Addresses Manchester City's 114 Charges

Barcelona's new signing, Rodri, shared his thoughts on the recent serious allegations against his former club, Manchester City.

Friday marked a significant day in English football. Manchester City has been found in breach of Premier League financial rules on 114 counts. Reports suggest substantial penalties are likely, with possibilities ranging from heavy fines to point deductions.

When asked about the situation at his old club, Rodri expressed his hope for a just outcome. He also conveyed confidence in Manchester City's eventual clearance.

"We faced a comparable situation in 2020," Rodri stated. "The legal proceedings were similar, though the accuser differed. Inside the club, we consistently felt reassured about the outcome. Ultimately, the club was exonerated. I trust justice will prevail, regardless of the verdict. However, knowing this club well, I am certain it will emerge without any penalties."
