LaLiga president Javier Tebas has launched an extraordinary tirade against the Club World Cup, declaring it his 'goal' to eliminate the competition.
The Spanish football chief claimed the revamped tournament is a threat to the 'sustainability of football' and he would 'ensure there are no more Club World Cups'.
The expanded competition kicked off last weekend and has already come under fierce criticism for extending an already saturated footballing calendar.
While FIFA president Gianni Infantino promised there would be 'full stadiums in America' and that he had no concerns about ticket sales, the tournament has so far failed to fully capture the imagination of the American public, with swathes of empty seats at certain fixtures.
