Guardiola's attendance marks his return to the Etihad Stadium after leaving the club at the end of last season, following a decade as manager. Earlier this month, an independent commission determined that Manchester City was guilty of violating financial regulations from the 2009-10 to 2017-18 seasons. The club is appealing the findings, which allege that City inflated commercial revenues by £830 million through fraudulent contracts.
In response to the verdict, Guardiola expressed his support for the club's owners and leadership, stating he will always stand by the organization. In a social media post, he reassured Manchester City fans by saying, "I want every single Manchester City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran [Soriano], the players, staff, Enzo [Maresca] and you, our unique supporters. Let me be clear: we will get through this together. I love you all."
