The Germany star, who has been at Anfield since 2014, named Reds legend Steven Gerrard at the heart of his midfield.

Gerrard is joined by one current Liverpool player, but the line-up is dominated by key men associated with one of Can's former clubs - Bayern Munich.

Six Bayern players - one of whom is now retired - make the cut, and they are also joined by a Manchester United icon - although we're sure Reds fans can forgive the midfielder in this case.
