Philippe Coutinho says ‘warrior’ Arturo Vidal has Barcelona DNA

Philippe Coutinho has been talking about his team-mate Arturo Vidal and is in no doubt that the Chile international has the infamous “Barcelona DNA.”

Vidal swapped Bayern Munich for Barcelona in summer 2018 and after a slow start went on to have a pretty strong season with Ernesto Valverde’s side.

Both men are now in Brazil for the Copa America where Coutinho has lavished praise on the 32-year-old.
