Jürgen Klopp said he will wait to see how things pan out before commenting on the Premier League's announcement that Manchester City had been found guilty of 114 charges for breaching financial rules. The charges cover a period between 2009 and 2018, with Klopp's tenure at Liverpool overlapping with the time City were found to be guilty of breaking Premier League rules. On the eve of Germany's match against Serbia in the Nations League, Klopp seemed content to let his record at Merseyside speak for itself instead of speculating over what might have been.
City, who won the Premier League three times between 2009 and 2018, have denied all of the charges and are set to lodge an appeal against the verdict. Of his longtime rival and Man City coach Pep Guardiola, Klopp said his respect for him and the football played at City is far too great for him to be able to say anything now.
Klopp was also tight-lipped on Germany's captain for the Nations League tie. The new Germany coach has a completely new squad to work with after he selected two groups for the four fixtures during this international window. With regular captain Joshua Kimmich allowed to leave the camp after he featured in a 1-1 draw in the Netherlands and the shock home loss to Greece, Klopp must decide who wears the armband for this clash in Munich.
