Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka has further galvanized the Stadium of Light faithful by praising the squad’s “growing belief” following a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Taking to social media to celebrate the result, the Swiss international shared an image of himself in Sunderland colours with the caption, “THREE. MORE. POINTS. This team has serious spirit #GX34,” a post that garnered over 44,400 likes within hours and drew enthusiastic responses from teammates Brian Brobbey and Dennis Cirkin.
The veteran midfielder’s leadership has become a cornerstone of the momentum building under manager Régis Le Bris, as the newly promoted Black Cats continue to defy expectations in the Premier League.
By highlighting the team’s collective character rather than individual accolades, Xhaka’s message has struck a significant chord with a fanbase increasingly hopeful that the club will push for more than mere top-flight consolidation this season.
