Arturo Vidal once again left his personal mark in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals between Colo Colo and River Plate, a tie that will be decided in the second leg after a draw in Chile.

The midfielder was one of the standout players of the match, not only for his performance on the field but also for his post-game comments.

True to his style, "King" Arturo didn't hold back and made some controversial statements, heating up the return leg set to take place in Buenos Aires on September 24, which you can catch on beIN SPORTS.

"I was really eager to play. There was a lot of talk about intensity, and we outmatched them in that aspect. Hopefully, that’s the focus now. We deserved the win, we attacked from all sides. They only had one chance, which came from our mistake, and they scored."

"The tie is wide open. We’re going there to win and make it to the semifinals, which is what we all want. We gave everything and deserved a bit more," added the Chilean. But he wasn’t done yet and took one last jab at River.

"You guys (referring to the journalists) talk about money, but I’m not going to compare their prices with mine. But if we compare titles, I have more than all of River’s players combined," Vidal stated.

Does Arturo Vidal have more titles than all of River’s players combined?

The answer is no. Does he have more than the majority? Yes. But with his 25 titles (23 with clubs and 2 with the national team), Arturo Vidal doesn’t surpass Franco Armani.

The Argentine goalkeeper has accumulated 27 titles, 23 with clubs, and the remaining 4 with Argentina's national team.

Whether true or not, the reality is that Vidal's words will undoubtedly add more spice to the return leg at River's Monumental Stadium. A must-watch showdown, which you can enjoy here on beIN SPORTS.
