Guardiola fires back at UEFA chief for 'casting guilt' on Blues

Ceferin this week claimed that UEFA had been right all along to find City guilty of breaking their own financial rules and issuing a two-year ban from European football in 2020, even through the outcome was eventually overturned at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The Blues were sanctioned by UEFA's Club Financial Control Body in February 2020 after they had been accused of falsely inflating sponsorship revenues between 2012 and 2016. City were also hit with a €30 million fine but they appealed to CAS and the verdict was quashed.
