Chilean footballer Arturo Vidal is once again at the center of the scene after proclaiming himself the most complete midfielder in history in a viral video that has caused a strong stir and revived the controversy, especially due to his gestures of contempt towards two world champions with the Argentine National Team. The episode originated in a reel that the Chilean footballer himself posted on his Instagram account. The video not only sparked debate on social networks but also reignited the historic rivalry with the Argentine National Team and once again placed Vidal in the spotlight of controversy. Despite the legacy and titles of all of them, Vidal maintained the same stance, reinforcing the idea of considering himself superior. The career of the so-called "King Arthur" supports a distinguished career, with two Copa América titles won with Chile and stints at elite clubs such as Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona. The challenge's premise was clear: he had to speak only if a more complete midfielder than him was mentioned. Throughout the video, the names of heavyweights of world football appeared, but Vidal always opted for silence, accompanied by ironic laughs and eloquent gestures, an attitude that was interpreted as a self-affirmation above all those mentioned. The first name heard was that of Leandro Paredes, to which he showed no reaction at all. Then came Aurélien Tchouaméni, Ivan Rakitic, and Charles Aránguiz, who made him hesitate for minimal moments. The moment that caused the most impact occurred when Rodrigo De Paul was named: Vidal reacted with a stern and rejecting gesture towards the Argentine midfielder, with whom he has a history of confrontations on the field. The list continued with top-tier figures like Casemiro, N'Golo Kanté, and Rodri, as well as legends from different eras such as Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Andrea Pirlo, Xavi Hernández, and Andrés Iniesta. However, his controversial statements and gestures have been a constant over the years. Currently, with a footballing present far from his best version at Colo-Colo, his figure once again generates more impact off the field than on it.
