Why did Luis de la Fuente ignore Barcelona's star in the World Cup?

Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente's disregard for Barcelona defender Eric Garcia during the 2026 World Cup journey has sparked widespread questions, especially since Garcia had a remarkable season with his club, demonstrating versatility by playing as a center-back, right-back, and even in midfield. Despite his technical readiness and standout performance, he was neither given a chance to participate nor even a few substitute minutes, while de la Fuente maintained his starting line-up that led the team to the final, raising controversy over his decision to exclude him. Garcia returned to Barcelona after strengthening his position with the club, but he left the World Cup feeling marginalized, as his potential was underutilized despite shining with his team, while the national team’s lineup remained unchanged throughout the tournament.
