PSG's Luis Enrique says Man City's guilty finding caught him off guard, and he's backing the English champions to escape punishment.
Luis Enrique has weighed in on one of European football's biggest off-field stories. The PSG boss says he was surprised to hear Manchester City had been found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules.
The Spaniard didn't pile on. He said he hopes City avoid sanctions, a sympathetic stance from a coach whose own club operates among Europe's financial heavyweights.
The ruling lands at a sensitive moment for the sport. City have been a dominant force domestically and in Europe in recent years, so any punishment would reshape the competitive picture well beyond England.
What penalties City might face, if any, is still the big question. For now, Luis Enrique's message is simple: he'd rather see the matter settled without hitting a club he clearly respects.
