Defender Dean Huijsen made a striking post on social media. De la Fuente did not call up any Real Madrid players for the World Cup.

Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid defender, made a striking post on social media after being left out of Spain’s squad for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Many took it as a dig at Luis De La Fuente, who decided not to call up any Real Madrid players for the World Cup (Huijsen and Dani Carvajal were the only ones who had a chance of being selected).
