Rodri believes in Man City's 'innocence'
Former Manchester City midfielder Rodri believes the club are innocent of any financial wrongdoing and will trust them unless they are proved otherwise.
Former Manchester City midfielder Rodri, speaking at a news conference before Spain's Uefa Nations League match against England, expressed his belief in the club's innocence regarding financial wrongdoing. City has been found guilty of breaching 115 financial rules by the Premier League, but they are set to appeal the decision. Rodri, who joined Barcelona in August, emphasized that the team has always maintained confidence in their own innocence and will continue to do so until proven otherwise.
He cited the 2020 case where the Court of Arbitration for Sport cleared the club of financial fair play charges as an example of the club's past experience with a similar judicial process. Rodri dismissed suggestions that City might have their titles stripped, stating that the efforts and sacrifices made by the team cannot be taken away.
