Stoke attacker Shaqiri admits he wants Champions League return

Stoke City attacker Xherdan Shaqiri admits he wants to play in the Champions League again.

He won club football's biggest prize as a 21-year-old with Bayern Munich in 2013 – as well as the Club World Cup and European Super Cup – and believes he can get back on that stage.

"Most players have their best time not with 24 or 25 years, but between 27 and 30. I have already won a lot of trophies but why should I not want to win the Champions League again?" said Shaqiri.

But he added: “Football can change quickly. There are always unexpected success stories. What happens in the next few years, nobody knows."
