Emre Can names past and present Liverpool heroes in his ultimate team - and it's a scarily good XI
The German midfielder has gone for one current and one former Reds teammate in his best XI, and there are plenty of former Bayern Munich colleagues too
But then there's always a show of inconsistency around the corner, like in the 1-1 Champions League draw at Spartak Moscow in which Can's error led to the hosts' goal.

One team that wouldn't be inconsistent, however, is the best XI that Can named for Liverpool's official website recently.
Made up of players who he has played both with and against, it is a team that would certainly be a match for anyone.

So there we have it. Not a bad side, huh?
It's packed with Bayern's ruthlessness, dominated by Liverpool's energy and skill in midfield and topped off with mouthwatering Ronaldo-Messi attack.
You've picked well, Emre!
