MADRID (Reuters) - La Liga expects to cut the gap with the Premier League and come close to matching its financial strength by 2020, the Spanish soccer federation's president Javier Tebas said on Friday.

La Liga is predicting total revenues of 3.32 billion euros ($3.58 billion) at the end of the current season, a 1.23 billion-euro increase from the 2011-12 campaign and around 270 million euros up from last year.
