The Chilean is slowly earning more minutes in the Barcelona side

Arturo Vidal is progressing. The midfielder continues to be a substitute in the big games but at leasy now he's getting more minutes. 

The Chilean scored his first goal for Barcelona in the Clasico, played the whole game against Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey, had 25 minutes at Rayo Vallecano and came on for 15 minutes against Inter. 

It's not what Vidal would have expected, but his situation has improved since the start of the season. With more minutes, the Chilean has been able to prove himself, although it remains to seen if that will be the case when Lionel Messi returns. 

In addition, Malcom's performance in Milan increases the competition to be Barça's 12th man. Ousmane Dembele, Rafinha, Vidal, Semedo and now Malcom are the five players outside the Gala XI getting the most game time. 

After the game at the San Siro, an ambitious Vidal said: "I hope we can win the Champions League. I am integrated now. It was tough at the beginning because of the injury but I am 100 percent now and full of confidence."
