LaLiga president Javier Tebas has taken fresh aim at Manchester City after their Premier League charges.

Tebas has been a vocal opponent of City's spending and he publicly criticised the club at an event in Manchester in 2017.

Now, after City were charged with more than 100 rule breaches in their biggest ever scandal, Tebas took his opportunity to point out he had been way ahead of the curve.

He tweeted: "On 9-5-2017 we denounced in Soccerex Manchester the breaches of the @ManCity and @PSG_espanol of financial fair play.

"It is incredible that the @premierleague took years to find out. We denounce that there are more cases, will it take so many years too?"

Tebas has been critical of City for years, claiming in 2020 that a "majority" of people involved in European football were convinced City had breached Financial Fair Play.

That same year, in the February, City were handed a two-year ban from UEFA competition by the governing body following allegations of FFP breaches.

Later that year, in July, City saw that sanction overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Following the CAS verdict, Tebas savaged them by claiming the court was now "dead".
