  • Arturo Vidal has launched a strong allegation of robbery against Real Madrid
  • The ex-Barcelona player says he has been robbed of victories by Los Blancos
  • Vidal played for the Catalans from 2018 to 2020 before leaving for Inter Milan

Arturo Vidal has never hidden his dislike for Real Madrid and the Chilean midfielder has once again launched a scathing attack on the integrity of the Spanish giants in his latest interview.

The 36-year-old has faced Los Blancos several times in his career while representing Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona and his perception has clearly remained the same in those years.

According to Football Espana, Vidal has now revealed he has been 'robbed' several times by Real Madrid and has lost count of how many times the Spanish giants have gotten away with it.

"Sometimes, I’m not sure in which exact game against Real Madrid… Against Real Madrid, I experienced so many robberies in my career, that sometimes I forget details. They robbed my teams so many times."

Vidal has a rather frustrating record against Real Madrid from his point of view, with the 36-year-old winning just four, drawing four, and losing eight of his games against Los Blancos.

Arturo Vidal is rushed to hospital

Meanwhile, US Soccer reports that Vidal caused a stir when the Chilean was rushed to hospital after suffering an injury against Colombia during an international game.

The 36-year-old midfielder was placed onto a gurney, put into the back of an ambulance, and rushed to the hospital, causing fans to speculate how serious his injury was.

Vidal challenged for the ball against Liverpool's Luis Diaz and appeared to twist his knee, causing him to pull up before being rushed to the hospital after the incident.

Real Madrid force Vidal to eat humble pie

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Vidal having to eat humble pie after the former Barcelona midfielder had some choice words for Real Madrid before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Chilean midfielder fired off a warning to Los Blancos after his side, Flamengo, won the Copa Libertadores. However, the Brazilian side was eliminated before he could act on that.
