In the aftermath of the new media release of Javier Tebas, the president of the Spanish League - “We will solve the problem of PSG.
What PSG is doing is as dangerous as the Super League.
We are going to fight against the state clubs, which are as much our enemies as the Super League.
"- the club of the capital but also the League (LFP) reacted.
In a letter that we were aware of, Victoriano Melero, secretary general of PSG, does not hide his weariness in the face of the proliferation of attacks from Tebas.
Melero speaks of “offensive and defamatory statements” which he considers “unfounded”.
“Year after year, it will not have escaped you that we respect the regulations of UEFA and France, in particular those of the DNCG, it is written.
It should be noted that the French League has not, like your League, waited in recent years to take action and put in place strong financial regulations.
"
"We invite you to focus on solving your domestic problems"
Melero then goes offensive: "It is now common knowledge that some Spanish clubs and your League are facing unsustainable levels of debt after serious mismanagement, not to mention how Spanish football has been funded over the years. the last decade - including by the state.
"
The Parisian leader underlines the lack of consideration of Tebas vis-à-vis players who were until recently part of Spanish football, such as Messi or Ramos.
"PSG looks like the League of Legends when you look at the age of some of its players," said the Spanish leader ironically.
PSG sees this remark as an insult to players and "to the millions of fans around the world who idolize them".
Finally, Melero invites Tebas to look into the consequences of the Super League, of which two clubs (Real Madrid and Barcelona) remain, according to PSG, "determined to break your League and European football as a whole".
“In all this context, concludes the French club, we invite you to concentrate on solving your domestic problems, for which you are responsible, and to stop your repeated diversionary attempts.

She adds that she "does not want to be the
muleta
agitated by Mr. Tebas in order to hide the internal problems currently going through by Spanish professional football".
Before recalling "that the financial largesse which the Spanish clubs have benefited from for many seasons and which are at the origin of the current problems, are neither his responsibility, nor that of Paris Saint-Germain".
After having mentioned the role of the DNCG, the LFP "advises Mr. Javier Tebas to return to more restraint".
On the side of PSG, we do not exclude initiating legal proceedings in the event of further attacks by the Spanish leader.
