International Friendly Starting XI: Brazil vs Argentina

Left out of Brazil squad: Neymar

There is no such thing as a friendly between Brazil and Argentina, and Lionel Messi's side will be keen to stop their rivals' winning run – here's how the two teams will line up.

Click through the mini-gallery to see which stars Brazil snubbed for their Superclasico squad.

International Friendly

Teams: Brazil vs Argentina

Date: 9 June 2017

Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia

Brazil coach Tite, who has won all nine of his games in charge of the Selecao, has left the Real Madrid and FC Barcelona-based players out of his squad and will field an experimental line-up for the match.

Argentina, meanwhile, will be keen to beat their bitter rivals in this Superclasico, with head coach Jorge Sampaoli taking charge of his first game.

The Albiceleste have won only three of their past nine matches, losing four, including 3-0 to Brazil in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier, and will be keen to gain some positive momentum by beating their bitter rivals.

Argentina last beat Brazil after 90 minutes in 2012, but could benefit from the fact that Selecao boss Tite left players such as Neymar, Marcelo, Casemiro, Dani Alves, Marquinhos, Fabinho and Firminho out of his latest squad.
