Xherdan Shaqiri seems to be enjoying his time at Anfield, doesn't he? The Swiss attacker is on course to win the Premier League and be a part of the great club's history.

However, Shaqiri will also be equally hungry for tasting Champions League success after doing so with Bayern Munich as a youngster in 2013. He was a part of the Bavarians' treble-winning squad that year and was touted to leave for Liverpool in 2014, only for Bayern to spurn the Merseysiders' advances.

Four years down the line, he is now with the Kop and readying himself to face the most cherishable team of his career.

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich will be one of the most exciting clashes in this round. As for Shaqiri, what we can guess and expect is that the Swiss attacker will only grow hungrier for another UCL medal when he remembers all the good times he enjoyed at the Allianz Arena.
