BEVERLY HILLS, August 14, (THEWILL) – Barcelona midfielder, Arturo Vidal, says his team, Barcelona is “the best team in the world” ahead of their Friday Champions League quarter final clash against his former team, Bayern Munich.
The Chilean midfielder stated this while speaking with Diario Sport, adding that the Blaugrana will defeat the German champions.
He said: “I understand why there is negativity but we are the best team in the world.
“The problem for us has been that we do not show it in every game and have lacked that consistency.
“Bayern will be confident but they will know that they are not just playing an ordinary team in the Bundesliga, they’re playing against Barca.
“We have Leo [Messi], we have the best players and we want to showcase what we can do.”
Vidal also spoke about Bayern striker, Robert Lewandowski, whose goalscoring exploit has been amazing this season.
He said: “Lewandowski is extraordinary, very dangerous, an insatiable goalscorer.
“It’s going to be very difficult to stop him but it’s impossible to compare him with Messi, who is from another planet.
“But you could say that Lewandowski is the best striker in the world alongside Luis Suarez.”
THEWILL reports that the winners of the Barca/Bayern will face either Manchester City or Lyon in the semi-finals.
