When Brazil play against Spain, it's always fun and there's always something about Barcelona in such clashes.
We've come up with a list of players you should keep your eye on during Saturday's Olympic final.
Dani Alves
The 38-year-old is still going strong, not missing a single minute of play for Brazil at the tournament.
The two-time Copa America winner could strengthen the status of the most decorated footballer in the history of football with his 44th career trophy.
Antony
One of the greatest Brazilian talents playing in Europe.
The 21-year-old right winger scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists for Ajax last season. At the Olympics, the Eredivisie winner has already proven himself with a quality assist for Richarlison in the Germany clash.

Malcom
Remember the guy?
The 24-year-old joined Barca from Bordeaux for €41m but barely made any impact and left the club for Russian side Zenit in 2019.
The Brazilian is still highly valued for his speed and dribbling as the coaching staff use him as the team's joker.
Gabriel Martinelli
The youngster Arsenal would be really proud of – if not for his worrying injury record.
Anyway, the 20-year-old forward rises to the occasion when needed – his memorable Chelsea run is still in minds of many Premier League fans all over the world.
Pau Torres
The best description of this player? No one has recorded more minutes than him in the 2020/21 season – 5,549.
Right after impressing everyone with Villarreal in the Europa League final, the centre-back became a regular starter for Luis Enrique's Spain side at Euro 2020. Now's he's one step from winning the Olympic gold.
In 2022, the 24-year-old is expected to leave Unai Emery's side for a bigger club – and Barcelona reportedly keep him on the radars.
Eric Garcia
The new Barcelona signing is set to start yet another game for his national side as he has never really disappointed the coaching staff.
Consistency is what the 20-year-old is about. Besides, the youngster is particularly good at sending long balls and, overall, playing as a deep-lying playmaker.
Pedri
The Blaugrana revelation is going to play his 73rd game of the season – he'll be the sole leader in terms of matches played this term in Europe.
Despite his young age, Pedri is always a joy to watch and we should definitely support the lad who could claim his first international trophy.
Marc Cucurella
Many Cules were unhappy with the way the 23-year-old wing-back was treated at Barcelona.
The player was a real talent but the previous board preferred to sign Junior Firpo instead of giving Marc the chance. Now he's set to move to the Premier League following a great spell with Getafe.
