Sergio Ramos will not have another chance to add more laurels to his national team collection after failing to make the cut for Spain’s 26-man squad for Qatar 2022.
Luis Enrique opted against taking the veteran Paris Saint-Germain star to the World Cup in preference for younger defenders such as Barcelona’s Eric Garcia.
According to the Daily Mail, the Spanish boss didn't select PSG defender Ramos, despite the centre-back having won 180 caps for Spain and being the most capped player in his national team's history.

Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara also failed to make Spain’s 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup after being left out of the team by Luis Enrique, Daily Mirror reports.
