Former Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has urged Xherdan Shaqiri to stay with Liverpool.

While he didn't get on the pitch for the triumphant Champions League final, Hitzfeld says Shaqiri can be proud of his season with the Reds.

He told Blick: "It's clear that as long as (Roberto) Firmino, (Sadio) Mané and (Mohamed) Salah are there, he has a hard time. He's still young. But Liverpool has so many games, so he will get his games.

"I think anyway that Shaqiri is making a fantastic career. If you're in the squad at the Champions League winner, and then twice, then you can be proud too.

"This is fantastic."
