Less brothers in arms, more brothers at each other's throats -- metaphorically speaking -- as sibling rivalry took center stage at Euro 2016 Saturday.
There are record-equalling four sets of brothers among the 552 players at Euro 2016, but for the first time in the European Championship's 56-year history, two of them played on opposing sides as Switzerland's Granit Xhaka went toe-to-toe with brother Taulant.
"It was a very special moment for our family, if rather bizarre," said Granit after the game. "We both gave everything for our countries, though I'm a bit happier.
"Both of us put in 100%. We gave absolutely everything -- it was a football match and nothing more than that."
