Pep Guardiola is expected to attend Manchester City’s upcoming Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain, which takes place at the Etihad next week. Multiple outlets frame the visit as City’s first home match since the club was found guilty of most of the 115 charges brought by the Premier League.
City’s former manager left the club at the end of the 2025-26 season, with Enzo Maresca replacing him. Sources also note that the guilty verdict is central to the story: some outlets describe Guardiola’s return as occurring in the fallout of the ruling, while others emphasize that he is making a notable public appearance in the period around the appeals process.
Alongside the match-related reports, at least one outlet says Guardiola has recently appeared in public in Paris, attending Victoria Beckham’s fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. The combined coverage therefore links Guardiola’s next attendance at the Etihad with the wider context of the club’s ongoing legal appeal and heightened attention around the verdict.
