Argentina vs Brazil - Combined XI of Superclasico de las Americas | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Right Midfielder: Giovani Lo Celso (Argentina)

An underrated operator in Argentina's star-studded squad

Since breaking into Argentina's set-up in 2017, Giovani Lo Celso has grown into a valuable player for the side, thanks to his creativity and ball-carrying ability.

In the ongoing qualifiers, he has made five assists, the most in the squad. He will look to stretch Brazil open with his intelligent runs down the right.

Defensive Midfielder: Fabinho (Brazil)

Fabinho, Brazil's workhorse

Fabinho brings great balance to his teams while also providing an excellent protective screen for his back four. He's among the best players in his position.

Against Argentina's potent forwards, his robustness and ball-winning ability could be crucial in impeding their offensive plays.

Left Midfielder: Lucas Paqueta (Brazil)

Paqueta has forged a deadly partnership with Neymar up front.

If Neymar is the star of the Brazil side, Lucas Paqueta might just be the next big thing. That's because his influence on the squad has grown by leaps and bounds lately.

He scored the only goals in their quarter-final and semi-final wins over Chile and Peru, respectively, in Copa America 2021. Paqueta was recently on target against Colombia in the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers.
