Due to political disturbances in Spain leading to a new nation called Catalonia, one of the best footballing sides might have to break into two. With players like Gerard Pique, Cesc Fabregas, and Xavi showing interest in joining the Catalonian side once the country becomes independent, a new team will be ready to take over the football world.

FIFA and UEFA do not recognize the Catalonia Team as yet, and therefore they are unable to play in major tournaments. However, if the nation is eventually granted independence from Spain, that will change. A lot of the Spanish pros, who are Catalans, may also switch their allegiances.

Spain has already made a mark on the world stage, and it won't take long for the Catalans to show their dominance on the field, let alone qualify for the World Cup in 2022.
