Former Manchester City midfielder Rodri backed the club to ultimately win a legal battle with the Premier League despite reports on Friday that the English giants have been found guilty on 114 charges.
The club are accused of breaking regulations by failing to provide accurate information and details of payments to players and coaches, as well as breaches of financial sustainability rules. We trusted the club, and ultimately, the club was acquitted. “I have faith that the club, which I know very well, will be cleared, given the reassurance they gave us back then that they had done everything by the book. Rodri’s final two seasons at City were hampered by injuries, but he was back to his best at the World Cup to lead Spain to glory.
Rodri scored the winning goal when City won their only Champions League title in 2023, among 12 major trophies with the club. “The club always reassured us that we would be cleared of wrongdoing, that we would face no penalties-because nothing improper had been done.
“We went through an identical process in 2020,” Rodri said at a press conference ahead of Spain’s Nations League clash against England on Saturday.
La Roja’s victory at Euro 2024 saw Rodri claim the Ballon d’Or that year and he is again among the candidates to be named the world’s best player.
