Footballing legend Luis Figo has rubbished the idea of players striking over the heavy football calendar.
The new-look Champions League got underway this week, with the format now seeing teams play eight games in the qualification stage rather than six and potentially two more in the play-off phase.
It led to the likes of Manchester City's Rodri and Liverpool's Alisson slamming the fixture conjestion, with Rodri insisting that players are 'close' to striking over more games being added.
City could play up to 73 games in all competitons this season, with the new Club World Cup also debuting in the summer.
