Bravo & I Will Never Be Friends Again – Barcelona Star Vidal Speaks Out
Arturo Vidal has declared he and Claudio Bravo will never be friends again following their public falling out while representing Chile.
The duo’s relationship first began to fracture in 2017 when a 3-0 loss against Brazil meant Chile failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
Following the match, Bravo’s wife Carla Pardo, took to social media and blamed some players for partying too much, with Vidal seemingly one of those she was singling out.
Since that point, Bravo and Vidal’s relationship in the national team has been subject to continued speculation with the duo generally refusing to admit there was any real issue.
“I hope that the issue with Claudio has already been cut, they have been talking about this for two years,” Vidal said in 2019.
“I think that for once in life we should think about the good of the national team and not look for non-football issues.
“Things are going to be discussed, we have 10 days, but always thinking about the national team. Now they called him [Bravo] and we are going to see what happens. That remains within the dressing room. We must work so that Chile becomes one again.”
