Enrique said Manchester City deserved recognition for their on-pitch achievements and should be permitted to keep their titles, even as the club faces potential sanctions for breaching Premier League financial regulations.
The PSG boss's comments come as Manchester City navigates the disciplinary process following the Premier League's findings against them. The club has consistently maintained its innocence regarding the allegations.
Enrique's remarks reflect a broader sentiment among some in the football community that sporting achievements should be evaluated separately from off-field compliance matters. Manchester City won multiple Premier League titles and other trophies during the period in question.
The exact penalties Manchester City will face remain to be determined, with the independent commission's decision expected to have significant implications for English football. The case has drawn considerable attention from managers and officials across Europe's top leagues.
