Arturo Vidal, the Chilean midfielder currently playing for Colo Colo, joined the controversy in a recent live streaming session. Asked about Cristiano Ronaldo's statements, Vidal didn’t hesitate to challenge the Portuguese forward. True to his style, he said, "He's crazier than...," before adding, "He knows it's not true, he knows he's not, but he believes in himself, that's the important thing," highlighting Ronaldo's self-confidence.

Vidal, clear in his stance on Messi

When discussing the greatest footballer of all time, Vidal was clear in choosing Lionel Messi. The Chilean, who shared a dressing room with the Argentine at Barcelona, had no doubts: "The best of all is clearly Leo, he's from another planet." Vidal reaffirmed his admiration for Messi, focusing not only on his talent but also on what he represents in the football world.

Reaffirming his opinion on Messi

This is not the first time Vidal has chosen Messi as the greatest. On a previous occasion, the Chilean had stated, "He's the best in history, for what he is and what he does." At that time, he also expressed his happiness to have shared a dressing room with the Argentine star and other great players at Barcelona.
