Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal has claimed that Spain will fear his side in this summer's World Cup.

Both Group B rivals were in action on Friday, with Spain losing 5-1 to Netherlands and Chile recording a 3-1 win over Australia.

The pair meet next week and victory for Chile would all but end Spain's group challenge.

"Spain will have watched our game today," he told Goal.com.

"They know it will be always difficult for them to play against us."

Vidal started the Australia clash, but was withdrawn in the second period as the Juventus midfielder continues his recovery from a niggling injury.
