The president of the LFP, Vincent Labrune wanted to respond to Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish Football League, who notably lodged a complaint against Paris SG after the extension of Kylian Mbappé within the club of the French capital.
Tebas puts a layer on PSG: “Supporting figures, I can show the cheating vis-à-vis financial fair play”
“We would like to express in the strongest possible terms our disapproval, but also our incomprehension, in the face of your latest attacks against Ligue 1 and one of our clubs. We are all the more shocked by these attacks as you are President of European Leagues (supposed to represent all leagues in Europe, including Ligue 1) and a member of the UEFA Executive Committee (whose role is to promote collective interests of European football)”, writes Labrune in a letter addressed to his Spanish counterpart.

“Your attacks on Ligue 1 and one of our clubs, Paris Saint-Germain, and one of our players, Kylian Mbappé, are based on your own interpretation of financial unsustainability and competitive imbalance, which you repeatedly attribute to Ligue 1 and one of our clubs”.
The former president of Olympique de Marseille defended the choice of the world champion who preferred to stay in his country in France. “Today your disrespectful remarks seem to be directed at Kylian Mbappé who is widely recognized as one of the best players in the world and who simply did not join your league, by choice, despite a similar offer. Unlike you, Ligue 1 welcomes and promotes players from our league and across Europe – including those in your league. Someone in your various functions would be well advised to do the same”.
