Real Madrid and Barcelona have been warned they will bankrupt LaLiga and themselves if they press ahead with plans for a European Super League.

Spain’s domestic league would suffer a 50 per cent reduction in all revenues if a “semi-closed” Super League became a reality, according to a new report by professional services firm KPMG for LaLiga.
