The Chilean has had a great season at the Camp Nou and he has got his best numbers as a goalscorer. He scores a goal every 208 minutes.
Prior to what happens in the Champions League, Vidal has made 42 appearances up to now and has started on 21 occasions. He has scored eight goals and got four assists in the 2153 minutes he has played, according to ProFootballDB data.
His departure from the club looked certain, but his good performances this season have meant he will stay for another year, 'Mundo Deportivo' reports.
The Chilean's future could turn 180 degrees: after looking all but certain to move to Inter Milan, Barca want him to continue in the squad until 2021.
