Rodri confident in Man City’s innocence despite reported charges

Rodri, the former Manchester City midfielder, expressed confidence in the club's ability to win a legal battle with the Premier League, despite reports that the English giants have been accused of 114 violations. The ruling, which has not yet been published, has caused shockwaves in English football and sparked speculation over potential relegation or stripped titles.

City was previously found guilty by UEFA in 2020 of breaking financial fair play rules and received a two-year European ban, but was later acquitted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Rodri, however, remained confident in the club's innocence, stating that they were assured they would face no penalties as nothing improper had been done.

He praised the club's reassurances and reaffirmed his faith in their integrity. Rodri's final two seasons at City were marked by injuries, but he returned to his best at the 2024 World Cup, where Spain won the tournament, and he was awarded the Ballon d'Or. The 30-year-old stated that individual achievements are meaningless without teamwork and emphasized Spain's ambition for more titles, as they start their Nations League campaign with a 90,000-strong crowd at Wembley.
