Popular brothers in football

Pogba brothers - Paul, Mathias, Florentin

From dancing to displaying a unique style, the Pogba brothers are probably the most popular in world football. Paul is the best player in his family, having played for Manchester United and Juventus. He has endured a rapid decline due to injuries. Florentin has been a journeyman, playing for the likes of Saint-Etienne in France and Genclerbirligi in Turkey; he last played in India. Mathias is also without a club and is a journeyman, just like Florentin. He has played in England, the Netherlands, France, and Spain.

Allegations of witchcraft rocked the Pogba family last year, and it is unclear what really happened between them, per Goal.

Hazard brothers - Eden, Thorgan, Kylian, and Ethan

This family is full of football talent. Apart from Eden, the three brothers are still playing.

Thorgan currently plays for Anderlecht in Belgium after leaving Borussia Dortmund. Kylian plays for RWD Molenbeek, while Ethan is on the books of the Belgian side Royale Union Tubize-Braine.
