Juventus ace Vidal: Totti a champion, a genius

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal admits he grew up idolising AS Roma captain Francesco Totti.

The pair will clash today as Juve host the Giallorossi.

"Totti was already a champion when I was a child," said Vidal. "He is a genius and as always we will use intensity and aggression to control him. Can I see myself scoring in the Champions League at 38? Ooh, that would be very difficult. My type of football uses up a lot of energy and I don't know if I'll get to 38!"
