A Dig at Arsenal
Speaking to the German media, Xhaka was candid about his time at Arsenal, suggesting that his move to Leverkusen represented a significant step forward in his career. “For me, it was not a step back, but rather two steps forward,” Xhaka said.

Having tasted success with Leverkusen, Xhaka has now set his sights on conquering new challenges. The midfielder has issued a warning to Bayern Munich, suggesting that Leverkusen are ready to challenge for the Bundesliga title once again.
“We have shown that we can beat Bayern Munich. We have shown that we can win the Bundesliga. Now we want to do it again,” Xhaka declared. “We have a strong team, a great coach, and a fantastic fanbase. We are ready to compete at the highest level.”
Xhaka’s comments have added an extra layer of intrigue to the Bundesliga, with the prospect of a renewed rivalry between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich emerging. The Swiss midfielder’s confidence and ambition are clear for all to see, and his leadership will be crucial for Leverkusen as they look to build on their success.
