Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has hit back at La Liga president Javier Tebas and accused him of "hypocrisy."

Teblas has accused City of ruining football by overspending and insisted they should be banned from European competition.

But Al Mubarak has blamed La Liga for starting the trend of high transfer fee's during the Galaticos era at Real Madrid.

Al Mubarak said: "He talks about how we distorted the market? There is a hypocrisy in this statement that is ironic. Number one, let's look at the Spanish league, the time of breaking records on player acquisitions, I mean, who started that?

"Let's go back to the world records, Figo, Zidane. These huge jumps in these transfers, where did they happen?

"You know, the history, you have to look back at the history of La Liga, a league dominated by two clubs and Mr Tebas should look back at the history of that league and how distortion that has happened throughout the ages. And then you look back at transfers.

"In the top ten transfers of all time, Manchester City has not a single player in that, not a single one. So I don't really take it seriously and I ask our fans to always put it in context. Always look at facts.

"And I think people with glass homes shouldn't be throwing rocks. I'm happy to talk to anyone as long as the conversation is about facts but once we start talking about innuendo and talking about theories I have no time for that.

"I don't think it's just an attack on Manchester City. I think there is a clear attack on the Premier League and that has been consistent coming from that way. Let's not forget this is the best league in the world."
