La Liga president hits back at PSG after comments over Barcelona’s finances

Taking to Twitter, La Liga president Javier Tebas has lashed out at Paris Saint-Germain after the president of the French club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, made comments about the financial situation of Barcelona.

Al-Khelaifi aimed a dig at Barça and their economic situation, stating that the way they had been running the club was ‘dangerous’ and ‘unsustainable’.

“We have to be careful about dangerous levels of debt and about magically injecting capital. This is not a sustainable path to take. We have to think long term,” he had said.

In response to the statements made by the PSG president, La Liga supremo Tebas has hit out at the way that PSG are run, criticising them for the way they operate without any restrictions due to the unlimited access to funds thanks to their owners.

“There is no magic, the @FCBarcelona_es has sold part of its assets to cover its losses, in the @psg_inside instead ‘you turn on the gas’. For sustainable football, the first thing is to pay what is owed, RIGHT?”

Tebas has been previously very critical about the way PSG operate and has even called into question the lack of Financial Fair Play sanctions against them.

There have been many a war of words between Tebas and Al-Khelaifi in the past, with the PSG president calling La Liga a ‘dead’ league as recently as June, which brought out a response from Tebas.

The La Liga president did not mince his words after PSG were able to hand Kylian Mbappe a mammoth new contract to stop him from joining Real Madrid either.
