Following the discussion initiated by Rodri of a possible player strike, Luis Enrique was asked today in press conference if the players should strike. The answer was that the LFP acted in that sense with the team reduction in L1 (and he forgot to mention the coupe de la ligue suppression). More broadly, CulturePSG did the maths: https://www.culturepsg.com/news/club/combien-de-matches-le-psg-peut-il-jouer-cette-saison/53105
The summary is that this year there can be between 47 and 65 matches. If we go to the Coupe de France final and the quarter finals for the Champions League and the Club World Cup, that will be 60 matches. I didn't choose this example out of the blue, in recent history 59 is the highest number of games played in a season (14-15 and 15-16), with an elimination in quarter finals for the Champions League each time. The next most busy seasons were at 57 games with 16-17, 17-18 and 20-21.
City can play up to 74 games this year. Luis Enrique basically said that English and Spanish players should strike before French players.
