Great photo capturing the intense rivalry between brothers Granit Xhaka and Taulant Xhaka during the UEFA Champions League match between FC Basel and Arsenal, held at St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland on December 6, 2016. The image showcases a pivotal moment in the game as Granit Xhaka, then a midfielder for Arsenal, is closed down by Taulant Xhaka, his older brother and a midfielder for FC Basel. The siblings' competitive nature is evident as they lock eyes, each determined to come out on top. The clash between the two teams was highly anticipated due to the presence of the Xhaka brothers. Granit had joined Arsenal in the summer of 2016, while Taulant had been a key player for FC Basel since 2012. This was their first encounter on the professional stage, adding an extra layer of emotion to the already heated Champions League fixture. The crowd at St. Jakob-Park roared as the two brothers went head-to-head, with both teams vying for the upper hand. The tension between them was palpable, and the photo beautifully encapsulates the intensity of the moment. Despite the sibling connection, both players remained focused on the task at hand, giving it their all for their respective teams. This image serves as a reminder of the unique bond between the Xhaka brothers and the significant role they played in the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League season. It is a testament to their passion for the game and their commitment to their teams, making it a memorable moment in sports history.
