Vidal had been left out of three squads by Ernesto Valverde
Aleix Vidal played again for Barcelona. After three games out of the squad he was included and came on as a substitute, albeit as a winger not a defender.
After playing against Alaves, Vidal did not appear against Espanyol, Getafe or Juventus. In the Eibar clash he appeared in the 74th minute and helped set up Messi's final goal.
