Liverpool playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri is relishing his reunion with Bayern Munich.

The two clubs will kick off their Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield on Tuesday night.

The Swiss won the Champions League final with Bayern in 2012, and he can't wait to face his former side.

"I was very happy because I wanted to play against Bayern Munich, against my old team-mates and my old team," Shaqiri told Liverpool's official website ahead of Tuesday's last-16 first leg at Anfield.

"It was an amazing time (at Bayern). We won a lot of titles, we won the Champions League. We had the best team Bayern Munich had.

"It was an amazing feeling to win so many trophies. I had many great memories there, I will never forget them.

"I'm really looking forward to going there and trying to win the game in Munich with my team."
