Bayern Munich defender Dante has said that Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Reus has the potential to become one of the best players in the world.

The Brazilian, who played with Reus at Borussia Monchengladbach for three years, faces his old teammate in the DFB-Pokal final against Dortmund on Saturday.

"Marco Reus was one of the strongest forwards I have played against this season," Dante told reporters.

"He has the quality to become one of the best 10 players in the world."

Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions in March while Dortmund won the German Super Cup last year.
