Busquets, Alba, Pique and Iniesta in Spain’s World Cup squad but Roberto misses out

Spain’s World Cup roster has officially been released and Barcelona players came out quite well. The four lucky men are Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Andres Iniesta.

However, it’s bad news for Sergi Roberto who will get the summer off after being left out of the squad.

The manager of the Spanish national team Julen Lopetegui named the roster based off of a strict belief in youth and experience. The blend of center forwards and midfielders are fascinating.

Also left off are Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata and Cesc Fabregas, while Diego Costa and Andres Iniesta are picked up.
