The Chile midfielder, who swapped Turin for Bavaria during the summer, is confident of winning trophies with Pep Guardiola's "exceptional" squad
Arturo Vidal says that Bayern Munich are considerably stronger than former club Juventus, arguing that he now feels like he's surrounded by "the greatest players in the world".

The Chile international left Turin for Bavaria during the summer, with Pep Guardiola's men paying €37 million for the midfielder, who had played a key role in the Bianconeri winning four successive Italian titles.

Juve initially struggled to cope with the loss of Vidal, as well as Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez, but have been climbing the Serie A standings in recent weeks and, on Wednesday, defeated Manchester City to seal their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Bayern, though, are also already through to the knockout stage, thanks to a resounding 4-0 defeat of Olympiacos, and are considered second-favourites behind reigning champions Barcelona to win this season's tournament.

Indeed, even though he played his part in helping Juve reach last year's final, Vidal feels that he is now part of a side better equipped to beat the best in Europe.

"At the moment, Bayern Munich are definitely stronger than the Bianconeri, although they are still a great team," the 28-year-old is quoted as saying by Tuttomercatoweb.com.

"The greatest players in the world are here and I hope to help them.

"I'm very happy here. I'm part of an exceptional squad and I hope to win trophies here."
