There’s strikes with power then there’s strikes with POWER. This is one of the latter to the power of Pi. Granit Xhaka lets rip with an absolute thunderbolt that I reckon, had it hit the keeper, would have knocked him clean out, through the back of the netting and into rows E or F of the stand behind him. (I wonder if anyone could GIF a what if scenario of that??)

Borussia Monchengladbach did waltz away 7 – 0 winners over Sarajevo, but this goal by Granit Xhaka was the highlight of the night.

That win put them in the pot for the group stages of the Europa League where they got drawn in Group A against Apollon Limassol, Villareal and FC Zurich.
