Arturo Vidal was scathing in his assessment of Newcastle’s return to the Champions League, saying the game left him ‘sick’ after their 0-0 draw at AC Milan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The midfield bruiser pulled no punches as he claimed the Magpies’ San Siro stalemate was ‘the worst match’ the competition had ever seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe’s side battled to a commendable 0-0 draw against one of last season’s semi-finalists but were under the cosh for large swathes of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taking to Twitch, the ex-Barcelona and Chile star took a swipe at Newcastle after they only recorded six shots to their hosts’ 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘Those fools from Milan with Newcastle left me sick.\u00a0I don’t understand Newcastle, they are fourth in the league (last season), but they don’t do anything, disgusting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They are lucky because they only know how to run, otherwise they wouldn\u2019t be there.’<\/p>\n
It seems a rather ungenerous evaluation against a club who were returning to Europe’s top table for the first time in 20 years.<\/p>\n
Most sides would be satisfied with a point from the Rossoneri no matter how it is achieved, but Newcastle offered little potency in the second half after a promising opening period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vidal, who joined Brazilian outfit Athletico Paranaense in July, also offered a damning assessment on other Champions League games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He called Manchester City’s 3-1 comeback win against Crvena Zvezda as ‘boring, as always’, and said he ‘fell asleep’ in the first half of PSG’s 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Athletico Paranaense player also derided Man City and PSG’s clashes on his Twitch stream<\/p>\n
