Danilo still a starter with Brazil: how the match in Paraguay went

The defender, who has only managed 5 minutes of action against Juve at the start of the season, played the entire 2026 World Cup qualifying match

Good news for Thiago Motta comes from South America . Nico Gonzalez , who was doubtful on the eve of the match, regularly took to the field in the match between Colombia and Argentina , also scoring the goal for the temporary 1-1 with a nice run from midfield that ended with a goal and a wild celebration . In the end, however, the Cafeteros prevailed, forcing the world champions to a 2-1 defeat. The former Fiorentina player is therefore a candidate for a starting shirt in the league match scheduled for Saturday at 6pm at the Stadio Carlo Castellani against Empoli.

Danilo protagonist with Brazil, but at Juve...

In the other match of the Italian night, Brazil also took to the field , defeated 1-0 at home by Paraguay (Inter Miami midfielder Diego Gomez scored the decisive goal). Danilo is also in Dorival Junior's eleven , remaining on the field for the entire match as well as in Saturday's match against Ecuador (1-0 victory signed by Rodrygo). The defender born in '91 has only managed 5 minutes with Juve in this start of the championship, coming on in place of Gatti at the end of the match at the Bentegodi against Hellas Verona, won 3-0 by the Old Lady. However, his use in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with the Seleçao sends a clear message to Thiago Motta: Danilo is there and is ready to give his contribution to the Bianconeri cause.
