Bar PSG from Champs League, says Tebas

MIAMI: Javier Tebas, the president of Spain’s La Liga, said he wants UEFA to kick Paris St Germain out of the Champions League for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations.

Tebas said PSG should be expelled for at least “one year” after recent leaked documents implicated the French champions in violating financial rules.

The latest developments follow on from an investigation in 2017 which looked into the £264mil (RM1.4bil) signing of Neymar from Barcelona.

In September, European football’s governing body UEFA said it had referred the accusations against the French giants to its financial unit “for further investigation.”

Manchester City, who are yet to be investigated by football’s European governing body, have also angered Tebas after they were accused of illegally obscuring spending following widespread reports of findings from the Football Leaks website.

“Two years we started talking and complaining about cheating, they should have already done things,” Tebas said on Thursday.

“Football Leaks has shown that UEFA have not done the right thing. And with the information we have now, the clubs must be sanctioned.

“For PSG, because of their recurring issues, they should be pushed out of the Champions League for at least one season.”
