Arturo Vidal adds extra quality to Bayern's Champions League squad

Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich have set their squad for the group stage of the Champions League, and it includes seven World Cup winners, a two-time European champion and a Copa America winner.

Bayern made some key additions in the summer window, bringing in Arturo Vidal from Juventus and Douglas Costa from Shakhtar Donetsk to add to an already world-class side.

After exiting in the semifinal the last two years, Guardiola will be looking to find the right mix of players to make his way into the final for the first time since becoming manager of the Bavarian giants.

United States' national team player Julian Green was included as a list 'B' player.

Here's the full squad list ('B' denotes those on player list B):

Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer, Tom Starke, Sven Ulreich, Ivan Lucic

Defenders: Medhi Benatia, Rafinha, Jan Kirchhoff, Jerome Boateng, Juan Bernat, David Alaba, Philipp Lahm, Holger Badstuber, Felix Pohl (B)

Midfielders: Thiago, Franck Ribery, Javi Martinez, Douglas Costa, Xabi Alonso, Gianluca Gaudino (B), Sebastian Rode, Arturo Vidal, Mario Gotze, Niklas Dorsch (B), Julian Green (B), Joshua Kimmich

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman, Patrick Weihrauch
