  • Barcelona fans will be taking a break from cheering on their team to success to get behind Spain at this summer’s World Cup.

    A total of 14 members of the Catalan club will be vying for glory at the World Cup – with Barcelona setting a new record by becoming the first club in history to have at least one player in every group at the World Cup:

    Group A: Luis Suarez (Uruguay)

    Group B: Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets (Spain)

    Group C: Ousmane Dembele, Samuel Umtiti (France)
