  "summary": "Pep Guardiola has consistently defended Manchester City throughout the Premier League's investigation into the club's alleged financial breaches, which resulted in 115 charges in February 2023. Throughout the process, Guardiola maintained that the club had acted properly and repeatedly called for the case to be resolved as quickly as possible. He expressed trust in the club's leadership and insisted that the club was innocent until proven guilty, echoing his stance even after UEFA imposed a two-season Champions League ban and a €30 million fine on City over financial-rule breaches in February 2020.",
