MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says the Premier League champions have already been condemned after the club was accused of breaching a slew of financial regulations over a nine-year period.

Guardiola says “my first thought is we are already being condemned.” City had a two-year ban from European club competitions overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2020 after UEFA had ruled the club committed “serious breaches” of financial fair play regulations from 2012-16. The latest accusations came after a four-year investigation.
