Sergio Busquets has insisted that the Barcelona and Real Madrid players get along well when they play for the Spain national team.
The rivalry between the two clubs was said to have affected both sets of players last season, but the Barcelona midfielder insists that there is no divide when they turn up for international matches.
"Here the players of Barcelona and Real Madrid are all in the same ship," AFP quotes him as saying.
"We know how to differentiate between what happens at club level and what happens with the national team.
"If Iker [Casillas] and [Carles] Puyol had the same chance of being here then they would be, just like Xavi is. We are playing for a World Cup."
Casillas and Puyol are out of Spain's World Cup qualifiers against Finland and France because of injuries.
