Between the Spanish League and the Champions League, Vidal had a passing accuracy percentage of 88.7 percent, a number almost identical to that of Bayern Munich (88.9%) and higher than that of Juventus (85.2%) . The ‘King’ gave 2,721 passes with the Barcelona shirt and 80 of them were key, that is, they generated a scoring chance.

At Bayern Munich, for example, he had an average of 0.32 yellows per game and at Juventus it was 0.31.
