The midfielder will help in taking the ball forward and allow Messi stay more in offensive positions

Former Juventus and Bayern Munich ace Arturo Vidal is one of the fantastic superstars who could actually help in getting the best out of Lionel Messi this season. The Chilean landed at Camp Nou this summer after completing a £27 million move from the German top flight, and he will be looking forward to having an immediate impact in the Catalan capital.

Vidal is a strong warrior with physical advantages and technical abilities. He has been one of the best midfielders in the world for the past few years, and there is no doubt he will actually bring a lot to the LaLiga champions this season.

Since Barcelona is a club that prides itself on possession, Vidal will help in holding on to the ball, and also win it back whenever it is lost - using his incredible tackling and warrior-like attitude.

With his ability to move the ball forward into offensive areas, the midfielder will also help in feeding Lionel Messi and enable the Argentine concentrate on his attacking duties without dropping too deep in order to get possession.
