'UEFA & FIFA killed the players!' - Guardiola defends rotation policy amid Man City's quadruple bid

Pep Guardiola has defended his rotation policy amid Manchester City's ongoing bid to win the quadruple, while claiming that "UEFA & FIFA killed the players" with their scheduling choices.

Guardiola made six changes to his starting XI as City moved another step closer to the Premier League title by beating Leicester City 2-0 at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Spanish tactician has vowed to keep tinkering with his line up ahead of a Champions League quarter-final meeting with Borussia Dortmund, insisting his players cannot be expected to play three games in a week without proper rest.
