The decision from Spain coach Luis de la Fuente shocked many Real Madrid fans, especially after Huijsen was widely expected to secure a place in the 26-man squad. However, inconsistent performances during his first season at the Santiago Bernabéu reportedly influenced the final decision.
Instead, Spain chose to rely on Eric García and Marc Pubill for defensive stability and tactical flexibility heading into the tournament.
Huijsen’s father responded shortly after the squad announcement by posting a Sofascore La Liga Team of the Season graphic featuring his son alongside Pau Cubarsí and Eric García in defense. He added a short but powerful caption:
“Not bad for a first season… Hala Madrid.”
The post quickly gained attention online, especially after Dean Huijsen reshared it on his Instagram story — a move many fans interpreted as a subtle response to his World Cup omission.
Despite a difficult period earlier in the season, Huijsen showed significant improvement in the final weeks and remains one of the most promising young defenders in European football.
