Man City & PSG are playthings of a state, they're ruining everything - La Liga chief Tebas
Tebas believes that the clubs' success has come at a huge cost to the rest of Europe, with teams unable to compete against clubs funded by "petrol money."
Speaking at the
Financial Times' Business of Football summit, Tebas said: "The problem with PSG and City is they’re state-run clubs: one off petrol money, one off gas.
"The damage happening on Euro football is massive because they are inflating the market so clubs have to pay ridiculous sums to keep their players.
“There are clubs who could not care less what their real incomes are when they want to sign a player because they receive incomes from a state.
"It forces other clubs into an economic situation which is really living on the edge. It skews the balance of the entire European football structure.
"This is no longer sport. This is no longer an industry. It becomes more like a toy, the plaything of a state.
"And when it’s a plaything, kids start playing with other kids. You end up ruining the entire system."

Absolutely loved watching Xabi play - remember seeing him put on a clinic versus Norwich back in the day - had me like 
- Huddlestone (favorite Spurs player) had similar passing range but lacked the desire and grit that Xabi had.
