What happened. Rodri said he believes Manchester City are innocent of financial wrongdoing and will keep trusting the club unless they are proved otherwise. City have been found guilty of breaching the majority of the 115 Premier League financial rules they were accused of, and are set to appeal.

• Rodri pointed to City's 2020 CAS acquittal as reason for his confidence.
• He spoke before Spain's Uefa Nations League match against England at Wembley.
• Rodri left City and joined Barcelona in August.

“Until the moment they are proved wrong, we will believe the club.”

— Rodri

City are set to appeal the verdict, with the case set to run on beyond this season.
