'It's something to make you proud' - Xhaka out to make Arsenal history

The Gunners will play Chelsea in the Europa League final in Baku on May 29 and the midfielder is aiming to make history for his club

It’s been 25 years since Arsenal last lifted a European trophy and Granit Xhaka is desperate to end that run and write his name into the north London club's rich history later this month.

Thursday night’s 4-2 win at Valencia earned the Gunners a spot in the Europa league final against Chelsea in Baku on May 29. It will be Arsenal’s first in European competition since 2006, with the last win coming in 1994 when they saw off Parma 1-0 in the Cup Winners Cup.
