FC Barcelona v Boca Juniors - Joan Gamper Trophy
Arturo Vidal

Arturo Vidal was probably one of the most important players for Bayern Munich. The former Juventus player was signed as a replacement for Paulinho, as the Brazilian left for Guangzhou Evergrande this summer, after being a part of the Blaugrana family for just a season.

However, Vidal's experience and vital defending skills are pretty much better to that of Paulinho, as the Chilean has played top-flight football in Italy and Germany as well.

We all have witnessed how impressive Vidal is in the middle of the pitch, as he possesses incredible body power and has been a consistent performer for the German giants.

It remains to be seen how and where he will be deployed, as Barcelona have midfielders in abundance this season. Busquets could enjoy some time at the bench as the Chilean can take up the job of protecting the back line.

Player rating: 9/10
