Scott Campbell writes, “Granit Xhaka is unbeaten in his first 47 games for Bayer Leverkusen.” Has anyone joined a new team and gone on a longer unblemished run?
Success for Bayer Leverkusen was initially one of the season’s biggest storylines. Among the stories of the century it is quickly becoming. With 51 games unblemished this season, Leverkusen has not lost in any competition.
Of those 51 games, Granit Xhaka, their summer acquisition from Arsenal, has featured in 47. It was in May of last year when Nottingham Forest formally terminated Arsenal’s title challenge that he suffered his last defeat at club level.
After the win at a packed Bay Arena, Xhaka said that he had shivers as the crowd went wild at the last whistle.
My skin crawls! You live in this kind of environment because you want to be able to experience it. It is amazing to have equalised right before the end; as a boy, you would want to be a part of such games. Now we will really enjoy this evening.
After leaving the English team, the Swiss midfielder was greeted with mixed feelings, but his most recent exploits have silenced his detractors and аmаzed supporters.
With Xhaka joining Leverkusen, the team had newfound vigor and resolve. His squad has had scoring chances made possible by his superb vision and accurate passing. His defensive ability has also given the midfield stability and repelled the onslaught of the opposition.
