Shaqiri is a Champions League winner

Shaqiri began his senior football career with Swiss club Basel back in 2009. After three good years with the side, German giants Bayern Munich came calling and the player signed for them in 2012. He was just 19-years-old then and there wouldn't have been a bigger thing he could have wished for.

Shaqiri's stint with Bayern lasted for three years and he won the Bundesliga in each of the years. But the most significant year during his stay at the club was his first season - 2012/13. The year in which the German club won the treble for the first time in their history.

They won the Bundesliga title, the DFB-Pokal and also the UEFA Champions League. It also has to be noted that the German Champions won the Champions League after beating Klopp's Borussia Dortmund in the finals and the gaffer had to helplessly watch Shaqiri lift the trophy. He will be hoping that he can see that sight again, but this time with the player on his side.
