WATCH: Lamine Yamal posts wild Gavi celebrations after Spain World Cup call

Spain have named their squad for the 2026 World Cup, with seven Barcelona players included. Perhaps the most celebrated was that of Gavi though.

La Roja have revealed the 26 names that will be going to the World Cup this summer, which for the first time ever will not include a Real Madrid player. Gonzalo Garcia did make the ‘support squad’ of nine players that will begin the training camp, but Dean Huijsen was one of the headline absences from de la Fuente’s list.

Gavi’s wild celebrations at being named in squad

A number of Barcelona players were present at the training ground to watch the call-up on Monday, Lamine Yamal filmed Gavi’s reaction to hearing his name read out. The 21-year-old has not been in the squad for the past year, and managed just 13 appearances all year, but his late form has convinced de la Fuente to include him in his squad.
