'Pure Emotion': Switzerland Star Xherdan Shaqiri Defends Controversial Goal Celebration

Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka stirred controversy last night as they both made nationalist symbols of their Albanian heritage during their 2-1 victory against Serbia in Kaliningrad. After scoring, both players put their open hands together and interlocked their thumbs to display the double-headed eagle figure that can be found on the national flag of Albania. Emotional game, thank you Shaqiri & Xhaka👐🇦🇱 pic.twitter.com/KLrstXaXDJ — Kosovare Asllani (@KosovareAsllani) June...
