Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 out of 115 charges of financial breaches. The club is expected to file an appeal.
The City midfielder Rodri has responded to the situation, insisting that the players' sporting achievements cannot be taken away from them.
What we have done is something they can't take from us. It’s not something that can be bought with money. It has been earned through hard work, sacrifices, and by standing shoulder to shoulder every day. I can tell you that it was all deserved, and I’m happy I lived through one of the best eras in English football.
However, Rodri's comments have not sat well with many fans and British journalists. His words have been labelled as absurd and offensive to other clubs.
Reports suggest that City’s dominance is viewed not as a golden era, but rather as a tarnished chapter in English football history, marred by cheating and rule violations. Any achievements claimed by the club are now viewed with immense skepticism, and their reputation on the international stage is severely damaged.
