Rodri confident in Man City innocence despite reported charges
Rodri said he believes the club will be cleared as the Premier League considers possible sanctions after finding City guilty on 114 charges.
- Spain captain and former Manchester City midfielder Rodri defended his former club on Friday, following reports that an independent panel found City guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League financial charges.
- Rodri cited a 2020 UEFA ban that the Court of Arbitration for Sport later overturned, noting the current judicial process mirrors that earlier case where City initially faced guilty findings.
- Expressing confidence in the justice system, the midfielder stated, "I believe in the justice system and I believe in the innocence of the club," and denied the team ever felt nervous about allegations.
- While the Premier League has not finalized penalties, City is expected to appeal the independent panel's verdict; the club faces potential point deductions, fines, or expulsion from the top flight.
- According to a club spokesperson, significant elements of the legal case remain pending, meaning City faces a potentially lengthy wait before the independent panel reaches a final decision on the 115 charges.
