Guardiola plans return to Etihad to back Man City amid financial-rules crisis

Guardiola plans to attend Man City's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on October 14, his first return since resigning, amid the club's financial-rules crisis.

• The match marks Guardiola's first visit to the Etihad since resigning as City manager in 2026.
• Manchester City has been convicted of 114 violations of Premier League financial rules for 2009–2018 and filed an appeal citing "clear and substantial errors."
• Guardiola posted a message of support, saying he is "here, more than ever" and that the club will overcome the ordeal together.
