According to reports, Arturo Vidal spoke about his views on the upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg between the two teams, scheduled for Tuesday at 21:00 local time at San Siro Stadium. The match, following a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg at Montjuïc, will be one of the most important games of the European season.

Vidal, who has played for both clubs, expressed his affection for both and his hope for one of them to win the Champions League. He also praised Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s young star.

Vidal said about the first leg: “I watched the match with a different perspective because I have great respect and affection for both teams. It was a very good game. The important thing is that the match provided an entertaining spectacle; a 3-3 draw in the Champions League semi-final is a rare and valuable event.”

When asked which team he supports, Vidal avoided a direct answer: “I’ve always been asked which team I support, but as always, I leave this question unanswered. In every club I’ve played for, I’ve given my all. I have great respect and affection for both clubs and hope one of them lifts the Champions League trophy.”

Vidal also praised Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s 17-year-old phenomenon, describing his performance as amazing: “Yamal has already played 100 games, which is truly unbelievable. His performance is extraordinary. I hope he continues to improve, but the character and confidence he shows are unparalleled. He shines in every game. Maintaining this level of consistency is difficult for players, and only stars like Lionel Messi can do it. I wish him success and hope he surpasses even Messi because he has extraordinary abilities.”
