Taulant Xhaka admits facing his brother Granit in Basle's Champions League clash with Arsenal will be a 'special moment', but insists sentimentality must be pushed aside for 90 minutes.
It is not the first time the pair will be facing off, with Granit and Taulant playing for Switzerland and Albania respectively at Euro 2016, but the 25-year-old is eagerly anticipating another match-up on arguably Europe's biggest club stage.
Taulant can play in defence or midfield, and reveals that it was initially surreal to be competing against his brother for 50-50's in the middle of the park before his competitive nature took over the nerves.
