'We are here to help each other' - PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi weighs in on Manchester City’s bombshell Premier League guilty verdict

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has adopted a neutral stance regarding Manchester City's recent guilty verdict for financial rule breaches. He emphasized the importance of supporting fellow clubs and respecting the legal appeals process rather than passing judgment.
Why it matters
The case represents a significant regulatory challenge to the financial integrity of top-tier European football and could set a precedent for future club governance.
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has offered a measured response following the seismic news that Manchester City have been found guilty of 115 breaches of Premier League financial rules. The Qatari official, speaking in his capacity as chairman of the European Club Association, refused to condemn the English giants despite the gravity of the findings.
English football was rocked after the Premier League confirmed that Manchester City were found guilty all of the financial charges brought against them. The breaches trace back to the club's takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group, covering extensive violations of financial regulations.
Investigators determined that City concealed operational costs and artificially inflated sponsorship revenues. These actions allowed the club to circumvent spending limits imposed by UEFA and the Premier League, securing an unfair competitive advantage.
