LaLiga president Javier Tebas has taken fresh aim at Manchester City over their spending power.

Their financial strength has been widely criticised throughout the years since City's takeover and it is not just those in the Premier League that have been left irritated.

"The governors of European football need to show a much stronger commitment to healthy domestic football," Tebas told The Totally Football Show.

"This would include stricter financial controls that limit state clubs like Manchester City or PSG from vastly outspending their rivals and it would also include much firmer Financial Fair Play penalties, which have been a very weak deterrent up to this point."

He also stated: "A state run club would be totally against our financial rules in Spain. Any investor that wants to come into LaLiga has to agree to our financial controls and we would not allow any investor that would create debt or inflate the market. We would not allow it to happen."
