Man City & PSG are playthings of a state, they're ruining everything - La Liga chief Tebas

The Spanish league's president says that the two clubs have become 'playthings' for billionaires who are making it impossible for teams to keep up

La Liga president Javier Tebas has hit out at Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, saying the "state-run" clubs are ruining European football.

Man City, owned by Sheikh Mansour, a member of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates and PSG, owned by Qatar Sports Investments, have both achieved huge domestic success in recent years in part due to their big-spending ways.

Both clubs have also been forced to deny breaking UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules, with City currently facing a potential season-long Champions League ban.
