Manchester City’s splurge causes unease

-

The Spanish soccer league wants the Union of European Football Associatio­ns to investigat­e Manchester City’s spending and expand its newly launched probe into whether Paris SaintGerma­in has breached any rules. Spanish league president Javier Tebas said Abu Dhabi-funded City and Qatari-owned PSG are benefiting from state aid that distorts European competitio­ns and “is irreparabl­y harming” top-flight soccer. UEFA said Friday it would look into whether PSG was flouting rules designed to control excessive spending by top European clubs.
