Moreover, a win against Wolfsburg will see the club take 1st position on Saturday.

Recently, Granit Xhaka’s clip from Leverkusen training is taking rounds on social media for a brilliant finish. In a video that went viral, the midfielder pulls off a marvelous dink finish over the keeper. The official social page of Leverkusen posted the goal, with the caption, “Granit, that’s just filthy.” Such was the finish pulled off by the player.

Xhaka receives a grounded cross from his teammate and instead of placing his shot to the side, or taking a touch before blasting his shot, Xhaka did something unexpected. In an effortless movement, the player sticks out his left foot forward, catching the keeper off-guard, poking it over him with a deft touch.

The ball flew over the keeper, as he watched on helplessly. After the finish, the player walked off with an expressionless look on his face.
