Five Brazilian kids coming through ranks at Barcelona & Real Madrid

World football will come to a standstill on Saturday night, when Barcelona welcome Real Madrid to the Camp Nou for El Clasico.

Ahead of the match, Brazilian portal UOL Esporte have looked into some of the young talent in the rivals squads.

UOL have selected five Brazilians who fans should keep an eye on at Barca and Real.

The players are as follows:

Abner (Real Madrid)

19-year-old left winger with Real Madrid Castilla, Abner moved from Coritiba to Real Madrid in 2014.

His career has been hampered by knee injuries, which has reduced him to just one league appearance this season.

Juan Carlos Silva (Real Madrid)

19-year-old forward who played for the Brazil U20 side in last year’s World Cup. Currently on loan at third tier Spanish side Fuenlabrada.

After moving to Spain aged 11, Juan Carlos is now a naturalized Spaniard too.

Lucas Vega (Barcelona)

16-year-old midfielder, who some believe could be the next Andres Iniesta at the Camp Nou.

Lucas was born in Fortaleza, but has lived in Spain since he was kid. He’s even played for Spain U16.

Robert (Barcelona)

Striker, 19, who is currently on loan with Barca B from Fluminense.

The Catalans have an option to sign the teenager for 5 million euros.

Werick Maciel (Barcelona)

Midfielder, 16, who is an established member of Barca’s U18 side.

He has already played in the UEFA Youth League.
