(Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>BARCELONA, Broadcasting News Corporation : Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas feels \u201churt\u201d by Luis Enrique not picking him for the Spanish national team, he told Cadena SER radio station on Tuesday. The forward has five goals this season in La Liga and is behind only Real Betis\u2019s Borja Iglesias, with six, and top scorer Robert Lewandowski, on eight. Iglesias was given his first call-up by Luis Enrique for the upcoming Nations League clashes with Switzerland and Portugal, along with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, with Aspas\u2019s chances of going to the World Cup in Qatar now negligible. \u201cIt hurts not to go with the national team,\u201d he said on the show El Larguero. \u201cI\u2019m stubborn and I will fight to the end to go. That prize is around the corner and I will do all I can (to get it).\u201d Aspas finished as the top scorer of Spanish nationality in four of the last six seasons, including the 2021-22 campaign, when he netted 18 league goals. \u201cI finished the last season playing well, it hurts that he didn\u2019t call me up,\u201d added Aspas. \u201cI have never had any problems with the coach and if there was, he would have told me, because he speaks his mind.\u201d Aspas, 35, has not played for Spain since 2019 and has a total of six goals in 18 appearances for his country, the last of them coming against Morocco in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
