Will the Agueroooo moment be forever tainted if the charges of financial chicanery against Manchester City are proven? That is what they are asking now in the highways and bylines of opinion. That is what was put to Pep Guardiola in his defiant press conference on Friday.

But he also threw in the odd reference to winning things ‘on the pitch’, possibly in case this one ever goes against them, in the dock.
