'Tebas must be so jealous!' - Guardiola blasts La Liga president for comments on Man City's CAS appeal verdict

Pep Guardiola has slammed La Liga president Javier Tebas for his comments on Manchester City's Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) appeal verdict, insisting he "must be so jealous".

City were hit with a two-season Champions League ban and hefty €30 million (£27m/$34m) fine by UEFA back in February for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.

The Blues swiftly announced their intention to contest the ruling, and have faced an anxious wait for a reprieve over the last five months with the case hanging over their 2019-20 campaign.
