Barcelona star Rodri defends Man City over 115 Premier League financial charges

The recent reports have cast a shadow over City’s unprecedented era of dominance. However, Rodri insists that any off-field controversy cannot erase the immense effort put in by Pep Guardiola and his players.

“When you live daily at that club, with all the people that worked hard all these years to have the success we had, with Pep [Guardiola], the owners, everyone who worked on that. They can’t take that from us,” Rodri stated.

“It’s something that isn’t paid for with money, it’s effort, partnership, standing shoulder to shoulder. We had a lot of success, here at Wembley, and I can tell you that everything was deserved.”
