Today, we would look at siblings who are in football and form a formidable formation that puts these siblings against each other.
Team 1
Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goal Keeper
Antonio Donarumma: The elder of the Donarumma brothers fall behind his brother in pecking order at San Siro yet he finds himself a spot in this unique team.
Centre Backs
Fabio Cannavaro: Cannavaro is the most popular of the two defensive brothers. He started his careers with Paulo, his brother at Napoli in Naples before moving to Milan, Madrid and eventually Juventus. He then captained Italy to world cup glory before winning the Balloon D'Or.
Kolo Toure: The first of the Toure brothers to hit stardom, Kolo made a name for himself at Arsenal. He then moved on to play for Liverpool, Man City and Celtic.
Left Back
Theo Hernandez: Theo is a World cup winner with France as well as a Champions League winner with Real Madrid. He has also featured for Athletico Madrid and Alaves. Presently, he plays for AC Milan
Right Back
Rafael DaSilva: The famous DaSilva twins played under Alex Ferguson winning the Champions League with Man U. It is hard to differentiate who from whom.
Defensive Midfield
Hamit Altintop: The former Puskas award winner left his twin brother at Schakle 04 and went on to play for big clubs like Real Madrid and Galatasaray. His ability to switch from defensive to attacking Midfield tells a lot of his versatility.
Attacking Midfield
Kelvin Prince-Boateng: The nomadic one of the pair, Kelvin represented Brazil while his brother went on to become a world cup winner with Germany. He once played for Barcelona some years ago.
Wingers
Rafinha: The Barcelona player failed to make so much impact at the club and is currently on loan. His brother's choice to play for Bayern instead of Barcelona after graduating from the famous La Masia academy seems to be the better choice. This doesn't undermine the fact that he is a very skillful and versatile player who can play as a winger and attacking midfielder.
Thorgan Hazard: The Hazard family is blessed with 4 footballing children with Thorgan behind Eden in birth and popularity. The versatile player plies his trade in Germany with Borussia Dortmund. Just like Rafinha, he can play as a winger and attacking midfielder.
Centre Forward
Romelu Lukaku: Lukaku career has been an eventful one. From making a move from Everton to Chelsea then to Man U. Presently, the Belgian big man plays with Antonio Conte's Inter Milan in Italy.
Ikechukwu Uche: If you are a fan of the Super Eagles between 2003-2012, then he needs no explanation.
Team 2
Formation: 3-4-3
Goal Keeper
Gianluigi Donarumma: AC Milan super hero seems to beat his brother to first spot in this team and would end up playing against his Elder brother if this team meets.
Defender
Paulo Cannavaro: Started his career in Naples with his famous brother, Fabio, he then moved to Parma where he retired.
Lucas Hernandez: The French defender presently plays for Bayern Munich after completing a move from Athletico Madrid so years back.
Jerome Boateng: The World Cup winner unlike his nomadic African brother has remained at Bayern for many years now and earns a place in our defense.
Defensive Midfield
Yaya Toure: The big Ivorian who is a multiple African Player of the year winner made a name for himself at Barcelona before moving to Manchester City where he accomplished great things.
Wing Back
Jordan Lukaku: The Elder of the Lukaku brothers presently plays for Lazio where he features as a left back. The multiple capped Belgian international would play as a left wing back on this Team.
Fabio DaSilva: Just like his brother, Fabio was under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson where he won the Champions League and Premier League with Man U.
Attacking Midfield
Thiago Alcantara: While his brother, Rafinha, opted to play for Brazil, Thiago plays for Spain and Bayern Munich in Germany.
Attack
Eden Hazard: Hazard ! Hazard !! Hazard !!! What a man.
Kalu Uche: One of the two Uche brothers who played for Nigeria.
Halil Altintop: Former Schake 04 player who is presently a coach at Ausburg was not so famous as Hamit his twin brother but the Turkish international is not a stranger to goal scoring.
Substitute
Pogba brothers: Only Paul Pogba is the most achieved of the trio. Therefore, his brothers made him miss out on the first eleven (11).
Olsson Brothers: Martin unlike Marcus is an international player although they play the same position. Therefore this pair miss the list.
