In recent months, the steering wheel has drawn attention due to statements and posts. In October, he outraged Atletico fans on social media by celebrating one year since winning the Libertadores by Flamengo, in 2022, which was won against Furacão. Vidal even tried to find a place at Boca Juniors in August, when he revealed that he would support the team from Argentina in Libertadores and that “I was waiting for Riquelme to call”. After Riquelme showed interest, the player shared photos wearing clothes in the club’s colors.
