Vidal Eager To Face Barcelona In Supercopa

Aleix Vidal is eager to face former club Barcelona in the Supercopa, after completing his switch to Sevilla.

The winger returned to his former club of Sevilla, signing a four-year deal, after joining Barcelona in 2015.

Sevilla has paid an initial fee of €8.5 million, which could eventually rise to €10 million. And Vidal is fit to play in the Supercopa.

“They’re coming in having played with their national teams and I hope to be able to experience that first success, even if it’s against my former team-mates,” said Vidal, who won the 2014-15 Europa League with Sevilla.

“I come having trained from July 9, though it’s true that I decided to not force myself physically so there were no problems being here. But I’m in good shape on a physical level and mentally and I really want to start making the most of it.

“I come here with even more excitement than when I arrived from Almeria [in 2014]. They’ve been three difficult years for me. I’m in the ideal position to come back to be who I’ve always been.”
