'He's not a champion' - Xherdan Shaqiri slammed by former Sion boss

Hinting that the Swiss captain is lucky Shaqiri was slammed by Arno Rossini

Liverpool and Switzerland forward Shaqiri picked up a Premier League winners' medal last season after featuring just seven times in the league, and only twice in 2020.

The player's medal with the Reds sit alongside the three Bundesliga titles he picked up with Bayern Munich between 2013 and 2015, when he made 52 league appearances across three years.

However, his bit-part role in Merseyside has been slammed in Switzerland, with former FC Sion boss and local TV pundit Arno Rossini hitting the headlines with a withering attack on the forward in July.

“Xherdan is not a champion,” Rossini told Tio . "We certainly cannot say that he left his mark with the teams with which he won. Not with the big guys at least.

"He was the protagonist in Basel, certainly not at Bayern or Liverpool.

"Let's say that over the years he has often followed the games of his teams as a spectator, sitting in the best places. And millions have also been paid for it."
