Despite an incredible International record that competes with the best strikers in the world, Liverpool striker Fernando Morientes has missed out on a place in the Spanish squad.
The striker has scored 27 goals from 34 appearances for his country, but only 9 goals this season for Liverpool, and has struggled to make the starting line up for the FA Cup winners that finished third in the Premiership.
Premiership stars that do make the squad include FA Cup penalty shoot-out hero Jose Reina, Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso and striker Luis Garcia, Chelsea's Asier Del Horno, as well as Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas and Jose Antonio Reyes.
Five of the squad will be starters in the Champions League Final between Arsenal and Barcelona on Wednesday night.
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Jose Reina (Liverpool), Santiago Canizares (Valencia)
Defenders: Carles Puyol (Barcelona), Michel Salgado (Real Madrid), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Carlos Marchena (Valencia), Asier Del Horno (Chelsea), Antonio Lopez (Atletico Madrid), Pablo Ibanez (Atletico Madrid), Juanito Gutierrez (Real Betis)
Midfielders: David Albelda (Valencia), Xabi Alonso (Liverpool), Joaquin Sanchez (Real Betis), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona), Marcos Senna (Villarreal)
Strikers: Jose Antonio Reyes (Arsenal), David Villa (Valencia), Fernando Torres (Atletico Madrid), Raul Gonzalez (Real Madrid), Luis Garcia (Liverpool).
