Madrid is not spaincentric.
Barca is.
At the height of barca's dominance from 2008 to 2012,Spain also recorded their best years.
But when Madrid won 3 champion's league back to back , Spain were shambolic.
Madrid recruits foreigners as the core of their team while Barca is Spaincentric.
I am surprised that Madrid are surprised
Poor analysis. During 2008 euro and 2010 world cup, Iker Casilas outstanding performance was a major part that made Spain to have good campaign in those tournament. Also Madrid had Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, etc but you lot always claim these glory for barcelona. That time Spain had players from other clubs too.

Gonzalo Gracia might not be a starter but he's better than some strikers that are called up. Dean Huijsen started almost all qualifying rounds for Spain and he wasn't that too bad and below par for Real Madrid. How many matches did pedri played?

Your points are invalid. For a player in Real Madrid to make Spanish team, must they be a super star? I know Spain won't make it past quarters.

You've just nailed it, brother. Even, withing those period, players like Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa, Ramos, Albiol and Casilas where in the national team, but I can confidently tell you only Ramos and Casilas were a standout. Alonso, Arbeloa and Albiol were just to represent the 'Madrid quota'. This is not saying the guys were not good and performing then, but they were other players who could have been picked in place of them, but for quota system.
Xabi Alonso is the person you are yabbing like this. Xabi was one of the best Spanish midfielders in his time at Real.
Re: Spain’s World Cup Squad Has No Real Madrid Players, Is This A Scandal? by Kingslaw(m): 8:11pm On Jun 02
The interest of real Madrid is not national base but club interest forgetting they are in Spain. I don't see anything wrong with the selection

And not 1 player is spaincentic grin enough to be selected if not for anything but to aviod this scenario after all not all the 26 select players will have playing time in the 3 world cup matches they will play... this is a consipracy and part of why Spain will not do well in this world cup, the highest they will go is 2nd round knock out.

If you understand spain as much as you think you do then you'll know that madrid is the real spainsh club while Barcelona is not, in fact Barcelona supporting agitation to be autonomous from Spain.

Clarification on what exactly? Either the op is delusional or simply ignorant because any body who follows football is aware that Madrid don't have quality Spanish players who are better than those called up. Nigerians and quota system, nonsense and ingredient.

How's this even news worthy??

Avoid what scenario, you think this is super eagles where nepotism eats deep.

There's no such thing as "real Spanish club" Until there's a catalona independence, all Spanish clubs remains Spanish.

OP, but your news information is incomplete without giving us the supposedly Spanish World Cup list nah! What kinda half information is this?

KoffiNana123:
For the first time in Spain’s football history, the national team will head to the FIFA World Cup without a single Real Madrid player in the squad.

Yes, you read that correctly. The biggest club in Spain, and arguably the biggest club in world football, has zero representatives in the Spanish national team.

Many football fans are already asking serious questions.

How can a country leave out players from Real Madrid and still claim to have selected the best 26 players available?

Are Spain's selectors rewarding form, or is there a hidden preference toward certain clubs?

What do you think?
Well this season that just ended ,Madrid players are just full of piss and shit ..
Say no mone

No doubt boss. My point is at that time, Spain could still do without him, Albiol and Arbeloa, unlike the other Real Madrid players like Ramos and Casilas, who were simply the best.
Re: Spain’s World Cup Squad Has No Real Madrid Players, Is This A Scandal? by yomi531(m): 9:40pm On Jun 02
Apart from the tired Carvajal, how many Spanish players are there in the Madrid team to pick from? Even when they dominated blw 2008 - 2012, how many Madrid players did they call sef. Madrid that likes to steal big foreign players from here and there. They don't really help home grown talents. Shior

If there is no single spanish player in their starting line up then can you both tell us who is Madrid's starting left back player...
Alexander Trent Arnold from England bro.
Garcia is too young and experienced when compared to other Spanish players called up for national team

Haba! Even Fran Garcia is not in the squad? No nau!

oh save me the whacked argument.
Madrid is the Spanish club with eyes for the Cristianos, Benzemas, Di Marias, Modrics, Toni Cruzs, Mbappes of other European nations.
There is a price for being the most successful club whose policy centers on buying the best oversea players.
Right now even Madrid second keeper is a Russian.
Nonsense and Madrid.
Whatever la furia roja have achieved have caralan signature all over it.
It was Barca that won the back to back Euro and world cup for Spain.
Madrid only provided iker, Alonso and Ramos

True. Iker Casillas was the only person from Madrid then. Then a few player from Bilbao and co. The rest were Barca.
Re: Spain’s World Cup Squad Has No Real Madrid Players, Is This A Scandal? by donmik: 11:59pm On Jun 02
No Spanish player in Madrid did very good last season

There was a match they used to recover their respect after much insult and no Spanish in that match throughout

Trent is right back, not left back.


The reason i mentioned your post is to clear you that the 2 left back players that mostly start Madrid matches interchangeably are both Spanish.

You don't know Barca, at all

Barca is pro-Catalonia

Not pro-Spain
What is this one saying?

Is Barca not in Spain? as far catalonia haven't gained independence, Barca is still part of Spain and will forever be.

You dey mind them? 90% takes here are from genz. How many barca players started for Spain in 2008 euro and 2010 world cup. Xavi, iniesta, puyol, busquet and Pedro. Fabregas joined 2011. But you see them attributing the success to barca. I don't know where that naration came from.

Football is a team sport and anyone who says Alonso was not important for Spain was too young to watch Spain or simply delusional. However, Puyol, David Villa, Pedro, Pique, Puyol, Iniesta and Busquet all started the world cup final. That's 7/11 players from barca. That's alot. These guys were all barca players at the start of the 2010 world cup. Fabregas was a bench player and wasn't even a barca player during the world cup.

Are you day dreaming? O'h, you thought tha it's Nigeria where everything is based on quarter system and not merit. Oyinbo goes for the best. If there are Spanish players that are good in La Liga B clubs like Racing, Malaga or Deportivo, Oyinbo people will select them for the world cup.
