Two elite European soccer clubs packed ’em in again at Michigan Stadium, and Liverpool’s Xherdan Shaqiri gave the 101,254 fans their money’s worth.

Shaqiri scored on a spectacula­r bicycle kick in the 82nd minute, capping a three-goal second half for Liverpool in a 4-1 win Saturday over Manchester United in an Internatio­nal Champions Cup match at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Sadio Mane, Daniel Sturridge and Sheyi Ojo also scored for Liverpool. Andreas Pereira scored for United on a free kick in the first half.
