Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made a mockery of the Premier League's financial regulations.

The City coach was asked about the club being charged with over 100 breaches of financial regulations.

However, Guardiola laughed off the issue, saying the league should have punished his team for Steven Gerrard slipping in 2014 when Liverpool were battling City for the league title.

He said,v“Some moments belong to us - they absolutely belong to us regardless of the sentence.

“The goal from Aguero, when Balotelli slipped? I don't know if we are responsible for Steven Gerrard slipping at Anfield. Was that our fault? I have respect for Steven Gerrard - but that moment belongs to us.

“The moments that we lived these years together, the Premier League will decide…but I know what we won and the way we won it. I know the effort we put in. If something happened in 2009 or 2010 it is not going to change one second."

He then added: “What I can say is I am proud of my owners, of my chairman, and the relationship we have had, this time together.

“I have relied on them [and what they told me] a lot in the past, now you can't imagine. If they want me here I will be here.

“The results are not good, they will put me out because it is a business where you have to win. But if they want me I will not let them down and my players, too. I want to convince them that what we have done, we have done and they won't remove it."
