The Switzerland captain met London and the Gunners on Wednesday night in a pre-season game against Bayer Leverkusen. The reception was warm.
Thirteen months and a day after leaving Arsenal for Bayer Leverkusen, Granit left England and the reigning German champions.
While the Gunners largely dominated the debate (winning 4-1), the Switzerland captain endured an emotional evening. The Basel midfielder, who played 297 times for the red and white between 2016 and 2023, was greeted with respect and recognition.
