Criticised for What? Enzo Maresca Not Sorry About Manchester City Celebrations
Maresca said the players had no reason to apologise after a 3-0 win at Liverpool, as City face scrutiny over 114 financial rule breaches.
On Sunday, Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca defended his team's celebrations after a 3-0 victory at Liverpool, their first match since an Independent Commission found the club guilty of 114 financial regulation breaches.
City faces intense scrutiny after the Independent Commission ruled the club breached 114 financial regulations, including more than £900 million in disguised funding and sham sponsorship contracts over an eight-year period.
During the match, Liverpool fans chanted "cheats" at the visiting squad, yet Manchester City captain Ruben Dias insisted the players remain calm, stating, "We trust the club, we're very calm and we're very focused on enjoying football."
Players continued their celebrations in the dressing room, with Maresca rejecting calls for humility by asserting, "Criticised for what? Even if it was 1-0, it would be exactly the same."
Wednesday night's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium approaches as Maresca maintains focus on winning games amid the ongoing legal appeals process.
