Ronaldo does not exist —Vidal

CHILE midfielder, Arturo Vidal has hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Chile’s Confederations Cup semi-final against Portugal, labelling the Real Madrid star “a smart ass” who does not exist.

Chile secured a place in the last four with a draw against Australia on Sunday as they finished second in Group B behind world champions Germany.

They will now face Euro 2016 winners Portugal in Kazan tomorrow, with Ronaldo having enjoyed a good tournament to date by scoring two goals and providing one assist.

Vidal, though, has not been too impressed by the four-time Ballon d’Or winner, and has hit out at his attitude ahead of their face-off.

“Cristiano is a smart ass!” he told reporters. “For me he does not exist.

“I have already told my Bayern Munich team-mate Joshua Kimmich that we will meet again in the final!”

The other semi-final is between Group B table-toppers Germany and Group A runners-up Mexico, who entered the competition as CONCACAF champions.
