Eleven famous couples of twins footballers

How many times the word 'twins' are used inappropriately referring to football? Every time that we talk about two 'twins' fans because of a strong friendship or two strikers who have immediately become 'goal twins' after having refined the feeling or because they are able to score both, the use of these expressions has become tremendously useful. What has always happened very few times is seeing a real pair of twins at work: sometimes two brothers are good in the same way, but sometimes one of them managed to build a better career unlike his brother. It's practically a rarity that two twins have played together in the same team: that's why couples of twins in the football scenario are very famous and certainly have remained fixed in your mind. We have decided to celebrate the most iconic eleven.
