La Liga president Javier Tebas has responded angrily to Manchester City’s successful appeal against their two-year European ban.
City had been banned from participating in UEFA competitions for two years and fined €30 million (£25m/$33m) for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
However, the Premier League side appealed the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and on Monday, their appeal was found successful.
La Liga chief Tebas was supportive of City’s ban, and is clearly unhappy to see it repealed.
“We have to reassess whether the CAS is the appropriate body to which to appeal institutional decisions in football,” he said.
“Switzerland is a country with a great history of arbitration, the CAS is not up to standard.”
After City were originally banned in February, Tebas said on Twitter: “UEFA is finally taking decisive action.
“Enforcing Financial Fair Play rules and punishing financial doping is essential to the future of football.
“Years ago, we called for severe action against Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. Better late than never.”
