Busquets and Sergi Roberto: Two captains in trouble

Two of LaLiga Santander's Dutch summer imports will face off on Sunday night, as Frenkie de Jong's Barcelona take on Luuk de Jong's Sevilla.

They're not related, but have come across each other several times as they have played together for the Netherlands and have played against each other in the Eredivisie.

Frenkie arrived at Barcelona from Ajax after impressing during the Amsterdam side's triumphant league campaign and, in particular, their European campaign last season.

Luuk, meanwhile, joined Sevilla after scoring 31 goals for PSV Eindhoven last season, netting 27 of them in the Eredivisie to finish as the Dutch league's second-top scorer.

Two of those goals last season came against Ajax, with both of the Netherlands' top clubs winning one match each as they met last year.

There is another interesting connection as Luuk's younger brother Siem de Jong has played with Frenkie, doing so in Ajax.
