The midfielder's comments highlight his belief that City did not infringe the rules, despite the panel's ruling.

Impact and next steps

The verdict marks a significant moment for Manchester City, who have consistently denied any wrongdoing throughout the process. Further details on the panel's findings and any potential sanctions are expected to emerge in the coming days.

For now, the club and its supporters await the full implications of the decision, with Rodri's statement adding to the ongoing debate surrounding the case.
