Arturo Erasmo Vidal Pardo (Spanish pronunciation: [arˈtuɾo βiˈðal]; born 22 May 1987) is a Chilean footballer who plays as a midfielder for German club FC Bayern Munich and the Chile national team.

After starting his career with Colo-Colo, Chile's most successful club, Vidal joined German Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen, where he played for four seasons. He moved to Juventus in 2011, where he won Scudetti in all four of his seasons, played in the UEFA Champions League final, and became widely recognized as one of the best midfielders in world football.
