- Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany stated he remains proud of his on-pitch achievements at Manchester City after an independent commission found the club guilty of over 100 Premier League financial rule breaches between 2009 and 2018.
- Kompany spent 11 years at Manchester City as a player and captain, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups, with three of those league titles occurring during the period covered by the breaches.
- Distancing himself from administrative affairs, Kompany explained that players were not involved in off-pitch matters and emphasised that his current focus is solely on preparing his Bayern Munich team for upcoming fixtures.
- Manchester City have strongly denied the accusations, maintaining their innocence and claiming the commission's findings contain clear material errors before formally lodging an appeal against the verdict.
- Under updated Premier League regulations, a newly appointed appeal board will conduct a hearing within 12 weeks, with a final decision due within 30 days of the hearing concluding.
