'I cannot change what the people think': Pep Guardiola insists two-year Champions League ban for FFP breaches will not tarnish Manchester City's achievements

Pep Guardiola claimed Manchester City will not waste time worrying about public opinion in the wake of UEFA's two-year Champions League ban.

The Premier League champions have lifted five of the last six domestic trophies on offer but have faced stinging criticism after 'serious breaches' of Financial Fair Play regulations.

Guardiola insisted City's recent successes will not be tarnished as a result and that he cannot alter judgement from outside the club ahead of an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
