Shocking graphic: Arteta, De Gea and Enrique in Spain third-choice team that could beat England’s best

England take on European champions and World Cup winners Spain at Wembley and you'd be hard pressed to find many people who give the home side a chance against one of the best international teams ever. Drawing on the star-studded Barcelona and Real Madrid squads, coach Vicente Del Bosque can also select the likes of David Silva, Pepe Reina and Juan Mata from the Premier League. The result is a wealth of talent that means Spain have to leave out a host of players that would arguably make the England first XI! talkSPORT has compiled a Spain team to rival England, selected from players that can't even currently make Vicente Del Bosque's 22-man squad.

 

Do you think this side would beat England and would any of these players make the Capello's squad? Why not let us know by commenting below.
