Guardiola reportedly plans Etihad return for PSG match

Pep Guardiola is reported to be planning a return to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium for the club’s Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on October 14, in a public show of support following a Premier League commission ruling against the club. His attendance has not been independently confirmed, and Manchester City’s appeal means the ruling remains contested. The match is listed on City’s schedule for October 14. If Guardiola goes, it will be his first visit to the Etihad since leaving the manager’s role in May, after a decade in charge. The reported plan was attributed to The Times in accounts that said he intends to attend. Guardiola has already voiced support for City following the commission’s findings. In a social-media message quoted in the reports, he said he would stand behind the club, its leadership, staff, players and supporters, adding that they would get through the situation together. The statement came after the ruling became public. The commission found Manchester City guilty of financial-rule breaches, according to the reports. They disagree on the number of charges involved: some say 114, while another says 115.
