Arturo Vidal admits Bayern Munich “have to be perfect” against Juventus tomorrow night.
The Bianconeri welcome the German champions to Juventus Stadium for the first leg of their Champions League Last 16 tie, with the Chilean international facing his former team for the first time.
“It will be a special game for me,” Vidal told Sport 1.
“I’m grateful and affectionate toward Juventus, I had four great years there. The fans always made me feel appreciated. I hope it’ll be a good game, we have to be perfect.
“I’d definitely have liked to meet Juventus at a later stage. They started badly, but that’s normal given all the changes.
“Now they’ve recovered and I think they’ll win the Scudetto again in the end. They have great players and a great team, I’m happy for them.
“It’s different in the Champions League though, the opponents play more. It’s a different style to in Italy.
“Their strongest point? Definitely the defence, it’s not easy to score against them. They’re also very quick in attack.”
Vidal was then asked about some of the Old Lady’s star names.
“Mario Mandzukic? There’s no direct duel between us as we play in different positions. He’s a born fighter and he scores a lot.
“As for Sami Khedira, he’s a great player. He’s had some physical problems but now he’s playing consistently and he’s scored some important goals. He’ll be difficult to deal with.
“Paul Pogba? A great player, he’s improving with every passing year, he’s one of the best midfielders in the world. He has a lot of quality.
“I don’t know if he’s their most dangerous player though, there’s also [Paulo] Dybala, Mandzukic and [Alvaro] Morata.”
