Real Madrid and Barcelona’s television revenue, which helps make them the world’s richest soccer clubs, will be limited under a new Spanish law.

The teams, with combined annual sales of 1 billion euros ($1.36 billion), won’t be able to receive more than four times as much broadcast income as the smallest of the 20 clubs in Spain’s La Liga under the legislation, league president Javier Tebas said in an e-mail today.
