TACTICS: Arturo Vidal returns to the XI but Barcelona retain 4-3-3 shape

Arturo Vidal returned to the starting XI as Barcelona beat Sevilla 4-0, but he did so in a different role than he played when he came on as a sub against Inter Milan.

The Chilean was at the tip of a 4-2-3-1 formation against Inter, coming on as a sub for Sergio Busquets as Barcelona searched to overturn a 1-0 deficit.

Ernesto Valverde said after the match he needed someone who would take more risks near the box and bring a bit of unpredictability to the team. Vidal did the job well, and Barcelona overturned the game and won 2-1.
