Former Manchester City midfielder Rodri addresses Manchester City’s guilty verdict after the Premier League found the club guilty of the vast majority of financial charges, reported as 114 (with some accounts citing 115). The reports prompt an immediate public response from Rodri, who speaks as a former player and now plays for Barcelona.
Across outlets, Rodri is consistent in expressing confidence in Manchester City. BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports report that he believes the club is innocent and says he will trust the club unless wrongdoing is proven. The Mirror, Manchester Evening News, and the Mail Online describe Rodri framing the situation in terms of “justice,” while The Athletic reports he says he trusts the club and refers to advice to remain relaxed. The Punch adds that the ruling has not yet been published and that sanctions are not decided, while Rodri backs the club’s expectation of winning any legal challenge.
Some differences appear in the exact number of charges cited (114 versus 115) and in how outlets describe his comments. However, all accounts reflect that Rodri publicly reacts to the verdict while maintaining faith in the club’s position and outcome.
