Liverpool "won" the Champions League after signing Xherdan Shaqiri – here's why

Xherdan Shaqiri signed for Liverpool last summer from relegated Stoke City for around £ 13m.

The Swiss international has participated four times in a victorious campaign in the Champions League and has brought two helpers.

Shaqiri's most important moment was the 4-0 comeback against Barcelona, ​​providing help to Gini Wijnaldum, who crowned the 27-year-old's energetic performance and put the Reds at a touching distance from the Madrid final .

It is interesting to note that when the offensive midfielder was hired for Bayern Munich in 2012, he followed the defeat of the Bavarian League final against Chelsea.

In the following campaign, the Bundesliga giants won the title of European Champion for the fifth time by defeating Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

Like Bayern, Liverpool has qualified twice in a row. After suffering a defeat in Kiev 12 months ago, they were able to master the feeling of despondency and get on the winner's podium this time around.

After the Reds' 2-0 win over Tottenham this weekend, Shaqiri won the Champions League in his debut with both clubs.

The playmaker has clearly been a "lucky charm" for Liverpool and has also stated his intention to stay at Anfield.

2012/13: Bayern Munich lost the final of the CL during the previous season, he signs Shaqiri then wins the trophy.

2018/19: Liverpool lost the final of the CL in the previous season, they sign Shaqiri and then win the trophy.

"I'm at Liverpool FC, the best club in Europe," Shaqiri told Goal and SPOX.

"The manager has a lot of good options and has to decide who can play, I knew before my transfer that the competition is very tough here.

"I have a long-term contract and I will definitely stay."
