Pep Guardiola gave a passionate rant about Manchester City's charges in 2022, according to ESPN's reporting.
The comments came during a period of heightened scrutiny over the club's financial dealings under Premier League investigation.
Guardiola's remarks were made publicly and reflected his frustration with the allegations at the time.
The Premier League has since issued a 'damning' verdict on Manchester City's financial charges, as reported by BBC Sport.
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards said he felt 'absolutely devastated' after reading the league's findings.
Richards described the verdict as damaging and expressed emotional distress over the outcome for his former club.
A Premier League panel also ruled that the referee and VAR were correct in not awarding a handball against Elliot Anderson in a match versus Sunderland.
That decision was confirmed by ESPN, which reported the panel upheld the on-field call following VAR review.
The timing of Guardiola's 2022 comments has renewed interest as the club processes the consequences of the verdict.
No current reaction from Guardiola on the recent verdict has been reported in the provided sources.
