Sergio Ramos has angrily denied claims that Spain's players were involved in a party following their 2-1 victory over Uruguay at the Confederations Cup.
Brazilian website Globo Esporte published a story claiming some players had invited women back to their rooms.
The Spanish Football Federation released a statement denying the story.
"We'd like Fifa to denounce the liar who's trying to make a name for himself on the back of a generation of players," said defender Ramos.
The report claimed an alcohol-fuelled party took place in the team's hotel in Recife following Spain's win in their Confederations Cup opener on 16 June.
Spain went on to beat Tahiti and Nigeria to qualify for the semi-finals, where they will face Italy.
"You can't play with the reputation of a country like Spain, which has a very clean image, and you can't play with the families, fiancees and children that we might have," Real Madrid's Ramos continued.
"Calling all that into question by inventing a story like that is very serious.
"We hope that the law puts them in their place and that we're left to pursue our own path."
While the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rubbished the allegations of an alcohol-fuelled party, it admitted it had reported a burglary at the hotel on the same night to the police.
RFEF alleges "six players of the national team were the object of a burglary in the team hotel". The hotel has reportedly denied the claims.
