Arturo Vidal will sleep tonight with the defenders of the PSV Eindhoven. The Chilean midfield player of the FC Barcelona had of a very clear double occasion hardly some minutes after the first half hour of game, in the 34', that did to shiver to the public of the Philips Stadion. In both occasions, nevertheless, the shots of Arturo Vidal were repelled by a contrary defender.
The first opportunity for the '22' of the FC Barcelona arrived after an exit in false of the goalkeeper of the PSV, Zoet, to the hour to clear an aerial balloon. Arturo Vidal found with the balloon in the aledaños of the area, and made a finish semi-acrobatic, something toneless but very very planted to the square, that would have gone in in the goal of not being by the clear, of head, of one of the Dutch defences.
Hardly some seconds afterwards, in this same corner derived of the played previous, Arturo Vidal finished a centre measured of Coutinho and the balloon also would have gone in in put it Dutch, of not being by the clear, practically on the same line, of one of the defenders.
Bad fortune like this as for Arturo Vidal, the one who during the first-half was one of the most active players of the FC Barcelona, and also more hit with and without the balloon. The rest of the team, in his majority, showed too imprecise in the combinations, some of them in dangerous positions, that caused contragolpes of the PSV Eindhoven that caused a big danger.

Going back to Arturo Vidal, in any case, the Chilean had of his first titularity with the FC Barcelona in UEFA Champions League, had to largely to the big accumulation of drops, and took advantage of it being one of the most direct players and that more character printed to the game.
It was not sufficient, however, to improve the imprecisions of some of his mates, like Rakitic or Lenglet, and the true is that the FC Barcelona left to the rest with 0-0 in the marker thanks to the good luck, given the clear opportunities of which had the PSV to advance several times in the marker.
