Liz Truss has called for English teams to boycott this year's Champions League final if the showpiece game is allowed to go-ahead in Russia.
The Foreign Secretary today said if she was a football star she would 'not want to be playing' in St Petersburg - where the final is due to be held on May 28 - given President Vladimir Putin's actions in eastern Ukraine.
Her comments come after UEFA bosses yesterday held emergency talks about moving the showpiece away from the Gazprom Arena amid the escalating threat of an all out Russian invasion of its neighbour.
