Balde on the bench: How Spain can lineup with 7 Barca players at World Cup

Spain called up eight Barcelona players to their squad for the World Cup taking place in Qatar.

La Roja could even field a starting lineup featuring up to seven of those eight players.

Here's what it could look like:

The starters would be Jordi Alba, Eric Garcia, Sergio Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres.

Luis Enrique would most likely leave Alejandro Balde on the bench.

Spain are not the favourite to win the World Cup but you simply cannot write them off.
