Sunday night was a night to remember for Jeremie Frimpong and his team, Bayer Leverkusen. They had just secured a stunning victory in the Bundesliga, ending Bayern Munich's 11-year reign as German champions. And Frimpong was leading the celebrations, with his teammate Granit Xhaka by his side.
But amidst the cheers and excitement, Frimpong couldn't resist taking a dig at his former club, Arsenal. Xhaka, who had left the Gunners last summer after seven years, had just scored a stunning goal from range to put his team 2-0 up. And as the celebrations got into full flow, Florian Wirtz scored a 22-minute hat-trick, sealing Bayer's victory.
In the dressing room, the players couldn't contain their joy. Their coach, Xabi Alonso, was drenched in beer by his team, and Frimpong even grabbed Xhaka on Instagram Live during the chaos. With his arm around Xhaka, Frimpong couldn't help but exclaim, "Granit, you came from Arsenal and you won it here! My f*****g G!"
For Xhaka, the victory was a dream come true. After narrowly missing out on winning the Premier League with Arsenal last season, he had finally achieved it in Germany. And he couldn't be happier. "It's difficult to find the right words to sum up my emotions," he said. "To come back after my first season in the league and win the title is unbelievable."
Xhaka also shared his gratitude towards his team and the club as a whole. "We had a great season, a great game," he said. "And now we enjoy. When you kick a ball at a young age, you dream of moments like this. It was hard work day by day, with everyone who was included in this club. In my 14 years football career, it's special for me, but even more special for this club. Now we want more, and to take the others one as well."
As Bayer celebrated their success, Arsenal suffered a major blow in their own title chase. Mikel Arteta's side fell to a 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa, missing the chance to return to the top of the Premier League. And with Liverpool also losing to Crystal Palace earlier that afternoon, Manchester City now have a two-point lead in the title race with six games left to play.
It was a bittersweet moment for Xhaka, who still holds a special place in his heart for Arsenal. But for now, he is fully focused on celebrating with his new team and looking ahead to their future successes. As for Frimpong, he couldn't be happier to have his "f*****g G" by his side, proving that sometimes, dreams do come true.
