Rodri’s Man City claim is a slap in the face to Arsenal (and every Premier League team)

Manchester City midfielder Rodri defended the club's achievements following reports by David Ornstein that City were found guilty of 114 of 115 Premier League charges. The Spanish international argued that the players' efforts and accomplishments on the pitch cannot be taken away despite the legal rulings, describing their run as one of the best eras of English football.

Rodri maintained that the team's titles were fully deserved through daily effort and dedication rather than financial advantages. The comments provoked criticism, with opposing fans and commentators arguing that celebrating the era disregards the severity of the alleged financial breaches against the rest of the league.
