Arturo Vidal has added another star to his illustrious career by securing the 34th league title for Colo Colo, thanks to his goal in a 1-1 draw against Deportes Copiapó. This match wrapped up an intense day of competition, where Universidad de Chile was also fighting for the top spot. However, a controversial VAR decision in the closing minutes dashed "La U's" hopes of forcing a tiebreaker, crowning Colo Colo as champions. For Vidal, this title is especially meaningful, marking a triumphant return to the club where his journey began.

Visibly moved, the "King" celebrated the victory surrounded by loyal Colo Colo fans, who warmly welcomed him back. “This is a dream come true. I’ve won a lot, but nothing compares to this,” Vidal said after the game, noting that at 37, he remains as passionate as ever. With tears in his eyes and the Colo Colo crest on his chest, Vidal celebrated one of the most meaningful achievements of his career.

Throughout the season, Vidal was a key figure for the team, bringing experience and quality in 19 appearances, scoring four goals, and providing an assist. His most crucial goal came in this final match, securing the title in a season filled with intensity and standout performances. His skill didn’t just bring victory—it reaffirmed his status as one of the top players in Chilean football.

This title adds to an already impressive list for Vidal, who has collected 26 trophies across national and international competitions. His club career includes silverware from Italy, Germany, Spain, Brazil, and Chile. During his first stint with Colo Colo, he won four championships (Apertura 2006 and 2007, Clausura 2006, and now the 2024 National Championship). In Europe, his impact was equally significant: with Juventus, he claimed seven titles, including four Serie A championships and several Italian cups. At Bayern Munich, he won six more, including three Bundesliga titles. At Barcelona, he picked up two national cups, while with Inter Milan, he added three more trophies, including another Serie A title. Lastly, with Flamengo in Brazil, he lifted the Copa do Brasil and Copa Libertadores in 2022.

With the Chilean National Team, Vidal was crucial in winning the Copa América in 2015 and the Copa América Centenario in 2016, bringing his total to 26 career titles. “Winning here again, at home, at this age, is simply indescribable,” Vidal said, emphasizing that despite his successes abroad, his emotional bond with Colo Colo is unmatched.

Vidal’s return to Colo Colo fulfills a dream for both him and the fans, who see him as an icon of the club and Chilean football. After the game, he concluded, “This is home—my team, my people. Colo Colo is heart, grit, effort, and unity.”
