This season could never have gone much better for Granit Xhaka and presently is the ideal chance to lead his country to Euro 2024 achievement. After an unbeaten homegrown mission with Bayer Leverkusen - bringing about a first Bundesliga title in their 120-year history - he has shown up at Euro 2024 with a raised certainty. The midfielder has transformed the competition getting man of the match grants in Switzerland's initial triumph over Hungary and their pivotal 1-1 draw with Germany.
Notwithstanding, in spite of being Switzerland's unsurpassed appearance record holder, Xhaka's global vocation has been a disruptive one with additional downs than ups. With a last-16 tie against Italy to come on Saturday (starting off at 17:00 BST), assumptions are high in Switzerland and they are focusing on Xhaka to commander his side to triumph and realize the potential he has shown exclusively in patches up to this point.
"Achievement brings certainty. It's been a significant test - the one I needed to have this season [at Bayer Leverkusen]," expressed Xhaka toward the beginning of the competition. "It's a delight to work there each day as a footballer. It hasn't been an ideal season since we lost the Europa Association last. Be that as it may, presently is another test."
