Guardiola to attend Man City’s first home game after Premier League verdict

Manchester City will host Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League next week, and Pep Guardiola is expected to be present in the stadium, according to BBC Sport. The fixture marks the club’s first home game since the Premier League handed down a guilty verdict on the majority of the 115 charges brought against the club.

The Premier League’s decision covered a range of alleged breaches, and the ruling means City will serve the sanctions imposed for the majority of those offenses. The verdict has already impacted the club’s operations, including restrictions on match‑day attendance for officials and staff.

Guardiola, who has been serving a touchline ban related to the same set of investigations, has missed several of City’s recent fixtures. His attendance at the upcoming match will be his first appearance in the stands since the verdict was announced, signalling a return to a more familiar role on match days.
