“La Liga president Javier Tebas claims he has spoken to a number of Premier League clubs who privately believe Manchester City should be sanctioned. First of all, do you think he should comment on it? And secondly…”
Guardiola interjected: “Maybe he’s right.”
The reporter then asked, “Do you think he’s right?”
Guardiola replied: “Not that it is true, but the Premier League teams want Manchester City to be punished, that’s for sure. I agree with Tebas for the first time, and hopefully for the last time. (Laughs)”
He continued: “So I say Mr Tebas and the Premier League teams will have to wait… Waiting for the final verdict, it’s not complicated. I don’t know if he [Tebas] is a lawyer or if all the Premier League teams are lawyers. So when you ask that question, you have to wait. We believe there is nothing wrong, so let the independent commission decide and we need to wait.”
