Barcelona's Victor Valdes has revealed that he still hopes to one day play for Spain after receiving the Zamora Trophy - the award for the league's best goalkeeper - in recognition of having only conceded 31 goals last season.

It is the second time the 27-year-old has picked up the award, named after legendary goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora.

After receiving the Zamora, he told Marca that he hopes this will allow him to push on for a place in the Spanish national team as he feels "a little sorry" that he has not yet appeared for la Furia Roja.

"The level of goalkeepers in Spain is very high so, despite winning the treble last season, it's no wonder that I'm not in the team," Valdes mused.

"Obviously I would be delighted to go. I will continue fighting to achieve that."

Valdes will now attempt to win a call up for Spain's next two matches, which take place against Argentina and Austria next month.
