Billi breaks down the latest blockbuster developments surrounding Manchester City, after their SHAM commercials were publicly exposed by the Premier League. The independent commission found Man City guilty of: Man City arranged 'sham' contracts with a number of its commercial partners to artificially inflate the club's revenues and reduce its costs by more than £900m. The club filed accounts that concealed the true state of its finances from auditors and football regulators. Man City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League's and UEFA's spending limits. During the Premier League's investigation, Man City failed to co-operate and act in good faith towards the league.
This episode also looks at a handful of selected UEFA Nations League matches, including France versus Italy, which will be Zidane's first home game in-charge of France, and England's trip to Croatia. Both Croatia and England have begun their campaigns with a win over Czech Republic and a defeat to world champions Spain, and now they meet in Rijeka hoping to get the upper hand in Group 3. A Lamine Yamal masterclass dealt Croatia a heavy defeat away to Spain and their 4-2 defeat to England in the World Cup will still be fresh in their memory
