Guardiola list the 9 teams pushing to get Man City banned from Champions League

Manchester City were fined with more than 100 charges of breaching financial rules between September 2009 and the end of the 2017-18 season.

Guardiola spoke out about the charges for the first time on Friday.

And he did not hold back at all.

Nine Premier League clubs wrote to CAS to demand that City's two-year Champions League ban was upheld.

Guardiola felt the need to call out these clubs following their charges by the Premier League.

He said: “While we wait for UEFA to make a sentence against us, nine teams - Burnley, Wolves, Leicester, Newcastle, Spurs, Arsenal, [Manchester] United, Liverpool, Chelsea - out of the Champions League when they wanted that position. To that that position that we won on the pitch.

"It is said there are not enemies or friends, just interests. They want to put it out to take that position we won on the pitch.

“They say you have to be out of the Champions League. You have to go to League One, or League Two or maybe the Conference?

“But they should wait. The Premier League put it there but they should wait. We are going to defend ourselves, like we did in the Uefa situation."

🗣 "Just in case we are not innocent, we will accept what the judge or Premier League will decide."
