The Bundesliga returned on Friday night with the defending champions opening up the season against Borussia Monchengladbach with German fans treated to a rocket by former Arsenal star Granit Xhaka.
The Switzerland star scored his fair share of stunning goals while at the Emirates Stadium across the seven years he spent at the Premier League giants. The midfielder nearly won the Premier League during his final season at the club before departing for Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
Xhaka won the Bundesliga during his first campaign in Germany and as tradition, Leverkusen opened up the season on Friday night.
The former Arsenal captain scored the first goal of the season and it was worth the wait over the summer as the veteran star hit a rocket.
