Overview
- An independent Regulatory Commission sanctioned the Manchester City midfielder with a fine and a warning for implying bias in post-match remarks after the 2-2 draw at Tottenham.
- Rodri admitted breaching FA Rule E3.1 and apologised in writing, which helped reduce the penalty from a proposed £120,000 to £80,000.
- The commission said a sporting sanction was unwarranted, noting a unanimous view that the threshold for a playing ban was not met and that the FA had not sought one.
- His comments followed a VAR-reviewed Dominic Solanke goal that stood despite City protests over a challenge on Marc Guéhi, after which he questioned refereeing neutrality.
- With no suspension imposed, Rodri remains available for Manchester City’s remaining fixtures, including the Carabao Cup final and their Premier League run-in.
