On the eve of a Champions League meeting with Manchester City, Luis Enrique offered a clear defence of the English club’s sporting achievements, arguing that trophies earned on the pitch should not be erased by any future financial punishment.
Louis Enrique backs Manchester City’s sporting record
- Speaking at his pre-match press conference before the Champions League contest, Luis Enrique addressed the possibility of financial sanctions facing Manchester City.
- The Spanish coach said that any off-field ruling should be treated separately from success achieved in competition.
- He stressed that cups won through performances on the field should not be taken away or declared void.
The remarks brought an unexpectedly conciliatory note to the build-up for a major European night, with Luis Enrique separating football’s disciplinary processes from the results produced by players and coaches in tournament football.
