Arturo Vidal, one of South America's most iconic footballers, is making headlines once again, not for his on-field achievements, but for his fiery comments ahead of the Copa Libertadores match between Colo Colo and Junior de Barranquilla.

During a passionate rally held in Barranquilla, the Chilean star didn't hesitate to send a warning to his upcoming opponent, stating that the Colombian team will not have an easy time in the clash.

At the event, which gathered a large number of Colo Colo supporters in the Caribbean city, Vidal declared, "We are going to massacre them." In his typically blunt style, Vidal made it clear that the Chilean team will give everything in their pursuit of victory.

It is still uncertain whether Vidal will be able to participate in the match due to a muscle injury, but the Chilean did not shy away from showing his strong support alongside another legendary player, Mauricio Isla.

Colo Colo won the first leg of the tie, defeating Junior 1-0 at the Estadio Monumental in Santiago. The winner of this series will face the victor of the River Plate vs. Talleres de Córdoba matchup.
