Latest Liverpool news: Xherdan Shaqiri shares his dream XI which features two Liverpool stars

Xherdan Shaqiri has shared his dream XI and has included more players from Bayern Munich than his current club Liverpool.

), the attacker shared his dream XI.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi play on either side of Robert Lewandowski in the attack. The midfield trio sees Luka Modric and Thiago Alcantara star ahead of Toni Kroos.

The back-four sees Liverpool stars Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk star alongside Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal.

The Egyptian won the Golden Boot last season and is in the race for the same this season too.
