Out of favour Barcelona star Vidal furious at Clasico snub

Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal reacted furiously to the news that he will not be starting Wednesday's Clasico against Real Madrid.

Goal can confirm reports from ESPN that Vidal, 32, was not happy with the decision to leave him on the bench and made his discontent known to team-mates.

Such was the former Juventus and Bayern Munich star's anger that he stormed out of Barca's pre-Clasico training session when Ernesto Valverde revealed his favoured line-up for Wednesday.
