Arturo Vidal insists his angry emoji Instagram story from earlier in the season is now a thing of the past.

The Chilean midfielder caused quite a storm after he left an angry emoji on an Instagram story after being left out of the Barcelona squad that took on Tottenham at Wembley in the Champions League.

In an interview with RAC1, the Chilean expressed his discontent on a lack of playing time at that moment, but brushed it off, saying that it is all in the past.

“There was a little bit of annoyance, but it’s in the past,” he said.

“A player always wants to play and to be important. You come here to contribute, not to cause problems in such an important team.

“It was a little bit of a heated thing, but it’s in the past. I’m only thinking about working, doing things well and winning titles.

“I don’t feel like a starter, but this is something that is earned training session to training session and whenever you are called upon to play.”
