Bayer Leverkusen | Switzerland: Xhaka reaches record mark

Granit

In the European Championship qualifier against Belarus, the captain made his 118th appearance in St. Gallen, drawing level with Heinz Hermann (65), who had held the sole “Nati” record for almost 36 years.

Before long, Xhaka will probably leave him behind too. The 31-year-old made his national team debut on June 4, 2011 in the European Championship qualifier against England (2-2).

The midfielder played his 100th international match in March 2022. He won 62 of 117 games, scored 14 goals and had been on the pitch for 9,926 minutes up to Sunday.
