(via ) Ramos and Pique have been two standout defenders for La Roja over the last decade or so. However, their form has dropped in recent times. Pique has made 102 appearances for the Spanish national team. However, the Barcelona centre-back hasn't featured for Enrique's team since the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Ramos last featured for the national team in 2021 when he made a late substitute appearance for Kosovo. He also left Real Madrid after the expiration of his contract last summer and joined PSG to open a new chapter in his career. He suffered a difficult first season in France as the better part of his campaign was plagued by injuries. He played just 13 games in all competitions last season. However, the 36-year-old has looked much-improved this season, registering 17 appearances already. Both Ramos and Pique will look to impress Enrique in their recent games.
