Xherdan Shaqiri says he has proved his doubters wrong with his success at Liverpool.

The Swiss collected a Champions League winner's medal last season after moving from Stoke City.

"I have prevailed," the Switzerland international told Schweizer Illustrierte.

"Not a second did I regret the move to Liverpool. Many have written me off in Stoke, but who can claim to have switched directly from a relegated to a Champions League winner?

"I know what I can and that I'm a good match for English football. And I earned the contract in Liverpool with my services in Stoke. It is simply a step forward in my career where everyone would like to play.

"I was in the starting XI in the return leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, which will go down in club history. And because of my two goals to defeat everlasting rival Manchester United, they still often call me a legend."
