Liverpool have secured a second Premier League title in five years, this time under Arne Slot.

Their first came when Jurgen Klopp was still in charge, with then-midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri on the receiving end of some astonishing criticism in the days following the achievement.

Shaqiri, who also won the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Supercup, was told he played a "disheartening" role in the 2020 Premier League title win by none other than a former coach from his native Switzerland, Arno Rossini.

The former FC Sion coach brutally told Swiss publication Tio in 2020 that the winger was more like a bystander at Anfield during their success, and the same could be said for his other trophy wins with other clubs.

Rossini said: "Xherdan is not a champion.

Only the crumbs, for a disheartening situation.

"Of course, Xherdan is filling the bulletin board and seeing his bank account grow dramatically; I don’t know how many, in ten years, will remember him thinking about the great teams in which he has played."

Shaqiri joined the Reds in the summer transfer window of 2018, signing a five-year deal worth £12.5million under Klopp.

He made just 63 appearances across three years for Liverpool, scoring eight goals and assisting nine times.

As well as Liverpool's success in the 2019/20 season, Shaqiri won trophies with FC Basel and Bayern Munich, winning three Bundesliga titles, one Champions League, two DFB-Pokals and one DFL-Supercup with the German team.

The 33-year-old has returned to FC Basel, where he is a three-time Swiss champion and has also won the domestic cup twice.

While the winger has been successful with his clubs over the years, Shaqiri will likely be remembered for his outstanding international career.
