Manchester City midfielder Claudio Gomes has spoken of being frozen out in the final six months of his deal at PSG.

Gomes was sidelined by the club, having committed to City midseason.

He told Onze Mundial: "I think I knew how to manage things, even if at times it was very complicated. The most complicated was Saturday when games were played on Sunday.

"When the coach announced the group and said in front of the others: 'Everyone is summoned except Claudio'. The 'except Claudio' stung me (smile). But I knew it was not the will of the coach, I knew that sometimes it made him uncomfortable. But he did not have to be uncomfortable because I knew it was not his fault, that he simply had instructions to follow.

"When you're an employee of a company, it's perfectly normal to respect the rules imposed."
