No, we are not selling our players. No, we are not getting relegated. No, we are not being stripped of our titles. Not one of them.
I'm a very calm man. And I'm calm because I've seen this film before. In 2020, UEFA handed us a two-year Champions League ban and the whole world danced on our grave. We took it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, laid out our evidence, and the ban was overturned. The same people celebrating then went very quiet very quickly.
This club will fight tooth and nail, exactly as it did then. There's a right of appeal, there's a legal team among the finest in the game, and there's a board that has insisted from day one that it holds a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence. They didn't build this club on luck, and they won't defend it on luck either.
So let the rivals write their headlines. Let them pencil in the relegation, the fire sale, the asterisks. We've heard it all. What they never understand is that pressure doesn't break this club, it sharpens it.
We are going to prevail. Citeh till I die.
Iโll never understand why bad things happen to good people in this life.
We played the best football this league has ever seen. Gave the Premier League relevance and its greatest title races. Had the best Prime.
And today, all of that is being reduced to ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝcheating.โ It's heartbreaking. ๐
