Casemiro has stood in the way of many of the world's top footballing stars including Lionel Messi and Xavi MUFC
Casemiro and Xavi embodied what both their respective sides represented. The former reflected the robustness of Real Madrid, happily sliding into last-ditch tackles and frustrating Barca on numerous occasions.
However, the Brazilian wasn’t phased, responding later in the year: “Everyone says what they want, but I’ve been here four years, and heading into my fourth Champions League final. I couldn’t sign for Barca, as I can’t play football the way Xavi wants. I am with Madrid until death.” The Brazilian has won the most tackles out of every player in the Europa League this campaign , as well as making 60 ball recoveries.Unfortunately for Barca again, they were again victims of the Brazilian Brick Wall when he made an unbelievable double block to stop the visitors taking a two-goal lead in February.
Man United produced a brilliant second-half display to win the game 2-1, with Fred and Antony scoring after the break, But whilst they’ll take the plaudits for the turnaround, Casemiro proved himself the immovable object once again.AdvertisementThe Brazilian got the better of another Barca player in Man United’s Europa League clash this season, too.
