The two Barça players have first Copa América match on Sunday

FC Barcelona's Dani Alves and Neymar make their Copa America 2015 on Sunday at 11.30pm CET, as the Canarinha, with Dunga as their new coach, begin their quest for the continental title.

The duel between Brazil and Peru is the second match of Group C on Sunday, as Colombia and Venezuela also face off. Neymar is Brazil's captain and top striker, while right-back Dani Alves was called at the last minute following an injury to Danilo.
