Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal says the reigning Copa America champions are focused on making history ahead of their semi-final against Peru.

The 2015 and 2016 champions are aiming for a third continental title in a row, a feat only achieved once before by Argentina in successive years from 1945-47.

"We want to leave our legacy as triple champions, that's our dream," said the Barcelona midfielder, an integral part of Chile's only two previous Copa successes.

"That's why we want to play our best match of the Copa against Peru. It would be something historic for us to get to the final and that's our aim."
"That's why it will be a very difficult match and fantastic to play in it."

======================
"Maybe it's a bigger match than the others before but we can play better."
"Many times I see passes by a European player that illicit admiration, but I see Cuevo make passes that are just as good that go by completely unnoticed."
