Both of them have had a great spell in the Premier League after leaving their former club and have tasted success with their clubs, while also becoming regular starters for their country.

Willian is an academy product of Brazilian club Corinthians and Fernandinho started his career with 2018 Copa Sudamericana champions Athletico Paranaense.

While they were in Ukraine they shared the dressing room with some well-known talents in Europe like Mkhitaryan, Douglas Costa, Darijo Srna and Luiz Adriano. Over the years they have established themselves as the top Brazilians in the Premier League.
