PSG are damaging European football, I can prove they are breaching financial fair play, says La Liga boss

PSG and financial fair play? No violation has ever been confirmed. However, La Liga boss Javier Tebas claims he can prove it. The Parisian outfit is said to be damaging European football.

PSG have, on paper at least, a dream team. In recent years it has regularly been considered one of the biggest favourites to win the Champions League, but so far unsuccessfully.

All to be helped by Lionel Messi, who arrived for free in the summer. It wouldn’t have happened if Barcelona could afford the Argentine star, though. Messi did his best to sign for Barcelona, yet the Catalan giant could not afford him.

Since then, La Liga boss Javier Tebas has made several comments about PSG. And certainly not in a positive way. The most different was now, when he was interviewed by the French newspaper L’Equipe.

“I have to criticise PSG. It doesn’t make enough money through sporting success to have the team it has. It is undermining the European football economy and European competitions,” Tebas is clear.

“How can PSG explain having a team worth almost 600 million euros? You get a maximum of €45 million for winning Ligue 1. It’s impossible to buy players like that from that. Itdoesn’t correspond to reality,” added the head of Spain’s top league.

So Tebas invited the PSG president and the president of the French league to go over the figures together and clear up any discrepancies. But he didn’t get a response: ‘They didn’t answer me. They just criticise me and don’t answer my questions.”

“I can prove with numbers that PSG is breaking financial fair play. I don’t care if Messi and Neymar stay there, it’s just that it’s all damaging to European football and I’m not the only one saying that,” the La Liga boss concluded his statement.
