Spain Start Without Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Atletico Players for First Time in 96 Years

Added at:


In a historic move, Spain’s starting lineup for their Nations League clash against Serbia featured no players from Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Atletico Madrid – marking the first time in 96 years that none of the "big three" clubs were represented in the starting XI.

The last instance of this occurred at the 1928 Olympics, when the Spanish national team was composed entirely of players from Basque clubs. This rare selection underscores the evolving landscape of Spanish football, as new talent emerges from across the country to challenge the traditional dominance of the major clubs.
