Danilo-Neymar, close enemies

Reading time: minutes

The pair met at Santos where they won the 'Libertadores Cup', and now they face each other in El Clasico. The Madrid full-back will have to stop his former compatriot to try and win at the Camp Nou.

Zidane was initially thinking of playing Danilo at right-back for the El Clasico on Saturday. The Brazilian started in the previous meeting and was one of the most criticised players after the 4-0 defeat.

Now, in a much more complicated context for Madrid, the brazilian will have to cope with his countryman to try and get a win to try and tidy up Madrid's season.

The two, who are good friends following their time at Santos, will become enemies for 90 minutes on Saturday.
