The 2018 World Cup, when Spain failed in the last 16, was the last moment of domination by Madrid and Barca in the Spanish national team.

Jordi Alba, Dani Carvajal, Nacho, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Isco, Sergio Busquets, Lucas Vazquez, Andres Iniesta and Marco Asensio were all chosen by the coach at the time, Julen Lopetegui.

Reporting from BrandNow under the tutelage of Luis Enrique, the Spanish national team players are no longer dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Erique is targeting talented players, even though he does not play in the two giants of the Matador Country.
