"An independent regulatory commission has sanctioned Rodri for the media comments that he made after Manchester City's Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday February 1. It was alleged that the midfielder acted in an improper manner during a post-match media interview by making comments that imply bias and/or question the integrity of a match official and/or match officials, contrary to FA Rule E3.1."
"During the draw at Spurs, City were particularly frustrated that replays showed Dominic Solanke kicked through Marc Guéhi's leg to score as the home side came back from 2-0 down. Rodri claimed afterwards City had been on the end of similar decisions for 'two, three games in a row.'"
Rodri was sanctioned by an independent FA regulatory commission for improper conduct during a post-match media interview following Manchester City's 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in February. The Spanish midfielder admitted to charges of making comments that questioned the integrity and bias of match officials, violating FA Rule E3.1. He received an £80,000 fine and a warning regarding future conduct. Rodri's comments referenced frustration over controversial refereeing decisions across multiple matches, including a Dominic Solanke goal that appeared to involve a foul, decisions not to send off Diogo Dalot in a Manchester derby, and the disallowance of an Antoine Semenyo goal in a Carabao Cup semifinal. The midfielder subsequently apologized for his remarks.
