LISBON (Reuters) - Barcelona remain the best team in the world on their day and will overcome Bayern Munich in Friday's blockbuster Champions League quarter-final if they play to their potential, midfielder Arturo Vidal has said.

Bayern are heavy favourites to beat Barca after sweeping to a domestic double of the Bundesliga and Cup as well as swatting Chelsea aside 7-1 on aggregate in the last 16, while the Catalans ended the season empty handed.
