Spain faces the 2026 World Cup without Real Madrid players: A historic change of course?

The Spanish national team is preparing for the 2026 World Cup without any representatives from Real Madrid, breaking a historical tradition. What consequences will this unusual situation have on the national team?

A World Cup without Madridistas

Real Madrid closes a disappointing season, and the Spanish national team faces an unprecedented scenario: not having any white players in its squad for the World Cup. Despite being a favorite, the absence of Madrid players creates uncertainty in the national team.

Strategic decision

Coach Luis de la Fuente has the difficult task of selecting the squad for the World Cup, where he already announces the absence of Real Madrid players. With remote possibilities for Dani Carvajal and uncertainty surrounding Dean Huijsen, the presence of Madridistas in the call-up is a mystery.

Fierce competition

The history of the World Cups shows that Spain has always had at least one player from Real Madrid. However, this time the situation is different, with Huijsen as the only Madridista hope. The battle for positions in defense intensifies, casting doubt on the central defender's presence in the final list.
