Javier Tebas, the president of LaLiga, persisted in his dispute with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, stating that the goal of his protest to UEFA on financial fair play was to protect competition.
While LaLiga filed a second complaint against PSG on Wednesday for violating financial fair play rules, City was the focus of the first LaLiga complaint back in April.
The latter grievance extended Tebas' most recent dispute with the Ligue 1 team, which allowed Kylian Mbappe, the World Cup winner, to remain in Paris despite continuous interest from Real Madrid.
Tebas alleged that the contract between PSG and Mbappe was "an affront to football," and he promised to sue the French club if necessary. Tebas later complied and filed a complaint with the organization that oversees European football.
According to LaLiga, these actions "change the environment and the sustainability of football" and "serve merely to artificially inflate the market with money not created in football itself."
Tebas repeated his displeasure with PSG at the Club Consultative Platform (CAP) meeting on Thursday and claimed his measures were in the best interests of football.
He asked, "Are the clubs or leagues accountable to our hierarchically higher institutions?" "When I believe there are abnormalities, am I required to disclose them?
"That is also governance, in my opinion. We would violate our governance principles if we turned a blind eye to issues of economic control and cheating.
"We want the competition to be as fair as possible, and these clubs seriously undermine economic restraint," the statement continued.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG, was also included in the LaLiga complaint. A conflict of interest was noted due to his activities as the chairman of the European Club Association and as the group's representative on the executive committee of UEFA.
Tebas insists that the protest was made for the good of European football as much as LaLiga.
He continued, "[There is] a blatant conflict of interest." "We must criticize him since he is a buyer of UEFA rights.
The ecosystem of European football is in peril, therefore we're not doing it to save the Spanish clubs, who have had enough of our strictest economic controls.
Earlier this week, Madrid president Florentino Perez said he still believes in the idea of a European Super League because the legal procedure is still proceeding.
The other two teams harboring breakaway league aspirations are Juventus and Barcelona, and according to Tebas, they have every right to do so because UEFA and local leagues cannot control state-run clubs.
He continued, "The three teams in the Super League are seeking to strengthen themselves, and properly so. They argue that UEFA is not able to fight against the state clubs and they occasionally accuse them of cohabitation.
"Because they compete unfairly, driving up wages, and casting doubt on UEFA's legitimacy and the financial control system, these state clubs create significant harm to the football ecosystem.
"That is why it's crucial to condemn it and say so in a straightforward manner."
