Stoke City are hopeful of making Xherdan Shaqiri their record signing from Inter Milan
on Tuesday, just a month after the deal appeared to be off.
The Switzerland winger, 23, was at the Britannia
Stadium on Sunday and watched as Stoke lost 1-0
to Liverpool.
The fee for Shaqiri,
will be higher than the £10m the Potters paid
Tottenham for striker Peter Crouch in 2011. The ex-Bayern Munich star scored three goals
in 20 games for the Italians. He has scored 17
times for his country in 46 appearances.
"I'm thrilled Pedro got the winning goal"
Messi who scored two fantastic free kicks and bagged the MVP award gave an interview to UEFA after the match and here are few highlights: "I've just been lucky enough to score those [two early free-kicks] and I'm very happy the team won and very grateful to everyone for their support and such a warm welcome. We seemed to be the home team [with the support in the crowd]! It was like we were the hosts and we're very pleased to have won. "The key thing is to win and to win as many trophies as possible. Winning today was significant because of what the Super Cup represents in terms of starting the season on the right foot, so we're delighted. All trophies are great. "The match began strangely for us, we were losing but then I thought we were much better and stronger. We had the ball for the first hour, we created opportunities and scored but then we relaxed and they pressed harder and scored and that was pretty tough. It looked like we were winning hand
