Arturo Vidal shows Barcelona why he is ‘King’

For a player that really doesn’t fit the mould of a ‘traditional’ blaugrana, Arturo Vidal is making it awfully difficult to argue against his inclusion in the Barcelona starting XI, particularly in the big games.

Social media was awash with criticism for Ernesto Valverde - again - when the Chilean was in ahead of Arthur Melo against Liverpool, but there was no sign of the vitriol at the end of the 90 minutes.

Arturo Vidal.

Literally everywhere.
