MADRID, May 25 (Reuters) - European champions Spain will travel to next month’s World Cup with plenty of Barcelona swagger but no-one from Real Madrid after manager Luis de la Fuente named a 26-man squad on Monday built ​around eight players from the Catalan club.

It is the first time since 1950 that Spain will ‌go to a World Cup without a Real Madrid player in their squad, a striking absence for the 15-times Champions League winners as De la Fuente prepares to lead one of the tournament favourites.
