Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis shrugged off PSG's cash backing before last night's 2-2 Champions League draw.

However, he has questioned why UEFA ignore the manner of their spending.

"PSG have great strength thanks to the fact they have no financial problems," remarked De Laurentiis to Le Parisien.

“If their budget is in red, they turn it green as if they're magicians. For me, football isn't a way to make other investments, like Qatar is doing.

“It's only another sector, like when I make films. Since 2004 we've come a long way, we've let players explode like Lavezzi, Cavani, Higuain, Insigne and Mertens.

“If after 10 games a team have 30 points and the second have 22, like in Ligue 1, there's something wrong.

“PSG want to win the Champions League by forcing their hand, but for what? If you invite six people into your home for dinner, do you buy 100kg of spaghetti and 50 boxes of tomatoes?

“The price of Neymar sad and vulgar? It's not just vulgar, it's a market issue. If someone is rated €180m or €200m, I can say that we value Koulibaly, who's the best defender in Europe, at €150-200m, but he's not for sale.

“These prices increase everyone's value, but it doesn't help. Balance is needed, otherwise there will always be a team with 30 points and the other 10 [points] below them.

“[Jean-Claude] Blanc worked for Juventus. We spent some time together in Serie A and he comes across as decent and professional.

“I also know [Nasser] Al-Khelaifi, who's a great guy. I have nothing bad to say about them. Like I said, the problem is political: Paris Saint-Germain could be called Paris Qatar."
