The English Football Association announced the final penalties against the Spanish star Rodri, Manchester City's midfielder, following his controversial comments against the refereeing team during his team's match against Tottenham Hotspur, which took place last February, according to official sources.

The decision comes as a significant boost for coach Pep Guardiola, as Rodri managed to avoid suspension from matches, receiving only a financial fine and an official warning, ensuring his participation in upcoming matches in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

The details of the penalty imposed on Rodri are as follows: the charge against him is violating Article E3.1 of the English FA regulations, related to insulting referees and questioning their integrity. The player admitted to the charge, and the penalty is a financial fine of 80,000 pounds sterling and an official warning regarding his future conduct, without any suspension imposed.

The incident dates back to February 1, 2026, following Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Tottenham, where City's goals were scored by Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, before Dominic Solanke reduced the deficit with a goal that sparked widespread controversy, despite video technology review, leading the team to feel aggrieved by repeated refereeing errors.
