  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique defended Manchester City on Tuesday, expressing hope that the club would not have its titles stripped following a ruling that it breached Premier League financial regulations. Enrique spoke ahead of a Champions League match between the two teams at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. The English Premier League champions could face penalties such as hefty fines, point deductions, or even expulsion from the top flight if sanctioned. There have also been calls for City to forfeit the trophies it won over a nine-year period when it was accused of inflating its revenue by over $1 billion by misleading authorities about its finances from 2009 to 2018. City, which is owned by Abu Dhabi, and PSG, backed by Qatar, have both previously been sanctioned by European governing body UEFA for violating Financial Fair Play rules. City is currently appealing the verdict. Defender Ruben Dias said his teammates remain calm and focused on the pitch, dismissing any distractions from the controversy.",
