Jamie Carragher believes players are being 'treated like cattle' after FIFA's announcement of a new 32-team men's Club World Cup.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed this week that the governing body's flagship club competition, which Liverpool won for the first time back in 2019, was set for a mass expansion. Currently incorporating the six continental champions - such as Champions League winners Real Madrid - and the league winners from the host nation, new plans coming into place from 2025 will increase the tournament to 32 teams.
Infantino, who has come in for plenty of criticism during this year's World Cup after a number of media appearances, confirmed on Friday morning his new ambitions, saying: "The new men’s Club World Cup will take place in 2025 and will feature 32 teams, the best teams in the world. The 32-team tournament will go ahead, making it like the current World Cup."
