´It is f****** amazing´ – Xhaka savours Switzerland´s historic upset of France at Euro 2020

Granit Xhaka could not contain his joy after Switzerland sensationally eliminated world champions France in the last 16 at Euro 2020, describing the triumph as “f****** amazing”.

Switzerland completed a remarkable comeback in a penalty shoot-out following Monday’s dramatic 3-3 draw in Bucharest, where Yann Sommer emerged the hero after saving Kylian Mbappe’s spot-kick.

Having opened the scoring and seen Ricardo Rodriguez’s penalty saved by Hugo Lloris early in the second half, Switzerland found themselves 3-1 behind with 15 minutes of regulation time remaining.

But Haris Seferovic netted his second of the game in the 81st minute before Mario Gavranovic’s last-gasp strike forced extra-time after cancelling out Karim Benzema’s brace and Paul Pogba’s stunner.
