The gesture of the Barça internationals that could have shaken La Roja

The 'Olmo case' not only had administrative consequences, but was also on the verge of triggering an unprecedented gesture in Spanish football. The FC Barcelona players with a permanent place in the Spanish National Team were willing to stand up as a pressure measure towards the RFEF, demanding the registration of Dani Olmo.

According to Joaquín Maroto, deputy director of Diario AS, on the program Onze of Esport3, key names of Barça such as Gavi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Fermín, Casadó and Cubarsí led this initiative. The commitment of these players to their teammate went beyond The players were not called up to the pitch and considered not attending Luis de la Fuente's squad as an act of disobedience.

The official version that would have justified the absence of the players focused on alleged physical discomfort, but the background was clear: to support Olmo. This position responded to the impact of his potential exclusion, since Dani Olmo was a key piece in the triumph of the last Euro Cup.

Fortunately for all the parties involved, Olmo's registration was resolved just before Barça played the semi-finals of the Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao, avoiding a conflict that would have strained the atmosphere both in the club and in the national team.
