#4 Hit: Arturo Vidal

This was arguably Vidal's best game for Barcelona to date. Why? He did what he does best, patrolling the midfield and imposing his influence on matches across both sides of the pitch, defensively and in transition to create attacks too.

This time though, it was largely without the tedious complaining to officials that has punctuated his spell at the Nou Camp, the recklessness and poor decision-making that has prompted many to question whether his arrival was really as shrewd a move as first thought.

With two key passes, 87.3% pass accuracy, one aerial duel and interception made to accompany a game-high six tackles completed, he was all over the pitch in a good way!

The real blemish on his performance is that he committed six fouls - somehow without getting booked - but it comes with the territory when you play as close to the edge as the experienced Chilean prides himself on doing.
