Paul Pogba vs. Florentin Pogba: The latest in football's sibling rivalries

Manchester United's Paul Pogba and St Etienne's Florentin Pogba are set to face off against each other in the Europa League's round of 32 in February -- and it is not the first time that sibling rivalry has taken place on a football field.

United's Pogba posted a video on his Instagram page of himself and older brother Florentin, with their heads superimposed on cowboys ready for a shoot-out. The scene comes from Clint Eastwood's classic Western "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."

Below is a look back at other memorable, recent shoot-outs between well-known brothers on the pitch.

THE NEVILLES

United have a history of being involved in brotherly battles with the likes of the Charltons (Bobby and Jack), and the Ferdinands (Rio and Anton) playing against each other. The Nevilles, though, were both born in Greater Manchester, both United defensive legends, and were later forced into several awkward battles with each other after younger brother Phil joined Everton in 2005.

Gary and Phil, who captained United and Everton respectively during two of their meetings, were involved in five head-to-heads. There were two wins apiece and one draw, so honours ended even.

Reflecting on the matches, Phil Neville said: "It was a difficult moment, particularly for my mum. My dad was a Manchester United fan, he was United until he died, but my mum just wanted two happy sons and a happy house."

THE TOURES

Yaya and Kolo Toure were once teammates, playing together at Manchester City, but they were on opposing sides after the latter and older of the two joined Liverpool in summer 2013. Although a chant is sung in tribute to both brothers -- infamously by Liverpool players on a night out in Dubai in May 2015 -- there was no unity during their Premier League clashes or when, most memorably, they were opponents in this year's League Cup final.

In the build-up to the game at Wembley, defender Kolo discussed Yaya and said that he would "take him out, big time" if the City midfielder was through on goal. Kolo added: "There will be no fraternising with Yaya before Sunday -- no phone calls, no messages, no feeling. We are both going to war."

Yaya had the last laugh though, scoring the winning spot-kick in a penalty shoot-out, after the game finished 1-1.

THE XHAKAS

The brothers Xhakas have clashed in both a major international tournament -- Euro 2016 -- and the Champions League, all in the space of a few months. First, midfielder Granit's Switzerland were drawn against defender Taulant's Albania at the Euros -- then Granit's Arsenal were paired with Taulant's Basel in the Champions League.

The bragging rights have all gone one way though, with the older Granit playing for the stronger teams on both occasions. He gave a man of the match display in Switzerland's 1-0 win over Albania in June, then Arsenal swatted aside Basel in the Champions League, winning 2-0 at home and 4-1 away.

After the first success over his brother, with Switzerland, Granit admitted it was a weird feeling. He said: "It was a very special moment for my family, it was rather bizarre. I think we played very well, we gave everything for our country and we're very happy. Maybe me a little bit more."

THE BOATENGS

The Boatengs became the only siblings to have played each other at a World Cup -- and they have done it twice, having also clashed several times in the Bundesliga. With defender Jerome representing Germany and midfielder Kevin-Prince playing for Ghana, their sides faced each other at the 2010 finals then again in 2014.

Jerome has enjoyed more success, with Mesut Ozil's impressive strike earning Germany a 1-0 win over Ghana in the last 16 at the 2010 event. The next meeting was a 2-2 draw in the group stage -- but Jerome was joyful by the end of the campaign, as Germany won the final against Argentina, 1-0 after extra time, and he played the full game.

Ahead of the second meeting, Kevin-Prince had highlighted his determination to win against his younger half-brother, saying that he would "play until bloodshed."

THE ALCANTARAS

World Cup winner Mazinho played for Brazil at USA '94 and was part of Bebeto's famous "rocking the baby" celebration -- and he produced two sons himself who have become outstanding players. Thiago was three when his dad became a world champion while Rafinha was only one, but they grew up fast into top-class midfielders.

Bayern Munich's Thiago, who opted to play for Spain, and Barcelona's Rafinha, who chose to play for Brazil, were on opposing sides in the 2015 Champions League semifinals, albeit just for three minutes. Rafinha came on to replace Andres Iniesta for the final three minutes of the first leg, won 3-0 by Barcelona, who went on to secure a 5-3 victory on aggregate.

At the time of the draw, Thiago went on to Twitter and shared a Skype call that he had with his brother, as they showed their excitement about the meeting.
