BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A new breakaway European soccer competition proposed last month would not really be open to outsiders and would cut the revenues of non-elite clubs by more than half, one of the Super League's biggest critics said on Tuesday.

Javier Tebas, the president of the Spanish league, said that LaLiga and other domestic leagues would lose 50-55% of their revenues from a mid-week Super League competition, according to a 2022 study by KPMG.
