🚨🎙️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Manchester City being found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges:
“Honestly, it’s crazy when you look at what Manchester City could potentially lose. We are not just talking about a fine or a few points. These charges cover nine seasons, from 2009 to 2018, and City won the Premier League three times during that period.
If the punishment includes retrospective points deductions and those points change the final tables, then you could have a situation where a team that originally finished second moves above City. Look at 2011/12 City and Manchester United both finished on 89 points, so even one point could theoretically change the champion if the table were recalculated. In 2013/14, Liverpool finished two points behind City, while 2017/18 was different because City finished 19 points ahead of United.
That is why this is bigger than people think. But we still have to separate the guilty verdict from the punishment. The sanctions have not been decided, City can appeal, and nobody knows yet whether historical titles will actually be affected.
So yes, it’s crazy what could be at stake but we will have to wait and see what punishment comes next.”
If man city go to the championship with their full squad. They will be back to the premier league next season. There’s absolutely no point in relegating them😂😂😂
🚨🇳🇴 Erling Haaland was scheduled to hold a press conference today, but Norway’s national team changed their plans to protect him from questions. ❌

🚨🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Premier League clubs celebrating Manchester City’s 115 charges:
🗣️ Zlatan: “I don’t blame them for celebrating these charges. (laughs) We are talking about a club that has traumatized almost every other club in this league for years. Pep came to the Premier League hearing everyone say it’s the most difficult league in the world, then he came and farmed the league like it was a Division Two league.
“He exposed them. He dominated them for years. So if they can’t win against Manchester City on the pitch, I understand why they are celebrating what is happening off it.
“But now they talk as if these charges were the reason Manchester City dominated. Like that was the main tactic City came with onto the pitch. Forgetting the beautiful football they played, how they controlled games and how they actually won those trophies.
“You can celebrate the charges, you can talk about them, you can wait for the verdict. But don’t rewrite football history. Manchester City dominated on the pitch. That is why they won all those trophies.”
Cockatoo on what went through their head when their younger brother, Michael Olise, got nominated for the Ballon d'Or.
"Seeing Mikey get recognized for his outstanding performance this season...it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so proud of him, and I hope he knows that."
