The Colo-Colo star Arturo Vidal is overjoyed with the achievements of his younger son, who seems to be following in his father's footsteps. Vidal shared a short video on his Instagram story showcasing a beautiful goal scored by his son from a free kick.
The video captures a moment from a children's match on a mini-football pitch. One of the kids takes a free kick against the opposing team and scores a goal with an impressive curling shot into the far corner. Vidal captioned the video with the words “Golaazo, son” and added emojis of a heart-eyed smiley and a flexing bicep.
It appears that the player in this match was Vidal's younger son, 7-year-old Emiliano. This young lad is already quite adept at handling the ball, scoring beautifully from free kicks.
It's worth noting that Vidal is divorced from his wife, with whom he has three children. The eldest, Alonso, is now 15 years old, and his daughter Elisabetta recently turned 11.
Recall that Arturo returned to his hometown club Colo-Colo in January 2024 after nearly 20 years of playing in Europe. With the capital's team, Vidal has already clinched the Chilean championship title last season.
