Liverpool star Xherdan Shaqiri has given the strangest reason so far for not performing to his best in Switzerland’s knockout match.

Speaking after the game, the Liverpool attacker said: “It was really not easy because you hear my voice, it is not always here.

“So, I think it was really nice and beautiful to celebrate with the fans. For 14 or 15 years we [have] won it again, it was really special and we will never forget this moment.”

Speaking of Ronaldo, Shaqiri said, “It was maybe not his best game, but in the end he scored three goals and decided the game. So yes, a clinical Cristiano Ronaldo decided the game today.”

“It is not always about one player but he is one of the best in the world and he showed that today.”

“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.”

Did he just blame Liverpool’s title win in Madrid for failing to recover to full motivation while on national duty?
