I have to admit to a certain amount of schadenfreude from seeing the Spanish clubs bleating about this, having used their TV rights muscle and Madrid's dodgy land deals to do the same to other countries over the years.
Paris St-Germain and Manchester City have been accused of 'financial doping' by La Liga president Javier Tebas.
Speaking at the Soccerex conference in Manchester, Tebas said the clubs had spent money from outside football and action should be taken to stop it.
Tebas said PSG were "laughing at the system" after their world record £200m purchase of Neymar from Barcelona.
He added: "We've caught them peeing in the swimming pool. Neymar peed from the diving board. We can't accept this."
The head of Spanish football's top flight, continued: "It is not just about PSG but also Manchester City. I need more money from TV, otherwise Manchester City with its oil will take all these players."
