FootballFever | Barça’s Arturo Vidal blows own trumpet ahead of Bayern clash Vidal says his former side Bayern Munich are facing “the best team in the world” in tonight’s quarterfinal and not “any old team in the Bundesliga”

Bayern are fancied to beat Barça when the only two previous winners left in the Champions League meet in Lisbon. The two are five-time winners of the prestige European competition.

“I understand the pessimism but we are the best team in the world,” Vidal said. “The problem is that we don’t always show it.”Barça have failed to inspire this season, surrendering their La Liga title to Real Madrid and leaving manager Quique Setién – appointed in January – already under pressure. Meanwhile, Bayern were superb after the lockdown to sweep to a eighth straight championship in Germany.

“Bayern will be confident but they must know that they’re not playing any old team in the Bundesliga, they’re playing against Barça,” Vidal said. “We have Leo [Messi], we have the best players and we want to prove ourselves.”
