Xherdan Shaqiri has reaffirmed his commitment to European champions Liverpool.

The Switzerland international who was an unused substitute in the Champions League final has seen his first-team opportunities restricted since arriving from Stoke for £13m last summer but featured in the Reds' 4-0 Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona.

Shaqiri told SPOX: “I'm at Liverpool FC, the best club in Europe.

“The manager has many good options and has to decide who can play. I knew before my transfer that the competition here is very tough.

“I have a long-term contract and I definitely will stay."
