Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has fiercely criticized La Liga president Javier Tebas, claiming he has an unhealthy obsession with the Premier League champions.
This comes after Tebas openly criticized City, amidst an ongoing investigation into the club’s financial dealings.
Tebas Wants City Punished
Javier Tebas has been vocal in his attacks on Manchester City, accusing the club of breaking financial fair play rules to gain an unfair advantage.
With the club currently facing 115 charges from the Premier League over financial irregularities, Tebas hasn’t held back, calling for City to be relegated as punishment.
According to him, City’s spending has distorted the competition in Europe and damaged the integrity of football.
Guardiola Defends Manchester City
In response, Guardiola strongly defended his team, stating that City has always operated within the rules. He believes Tebas has a personal issue with the club and seems determined to see them fail.
“He’s obsessed with Manchester City,” Guardiola said. “He wants us out of the Premier League. He wants us to disappear. But we’re here to stay.”
The City boss didn’t stop there, suggesting that Tebas is focusing too much on City while ignoring the problems closer to home in La Liga.
Guardiola emphasized that the investigations would show City’s innocence, and Tebas would be proven wrong.
What’s Next for City?
As the investigation into Manchester City’s financial affairs continues, the clash between Guardiola and Tebas is expected to heat up further.
The outcome of this case could have serious consequences for both Manchester City and the Premier League, depending on the findings.
For now, City remains focused on defending their Premier League title, while Guardiola stays determined to silence the critics. The football world will be watching closely as this battle off the pitch unfolds.
