Xhaka applauds Boniface and Tella in historic Bundesliga triumph
Granit Xhaka, one of the standout players for Bayer Leverkusen, has showered praise on Nigerian talents Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella for their pivotal role in the club's historic Bundesliga title victory, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen clinched their maiden Bundesliga crown with an emphatic 5-0 demolition of Werder Bremen last Sunday.
Despite enduring a season marred by an adductor injury, Boniface showcased his prowess by netting 11 goals in just 18 league outings for Die Werkself.
Meanwhile, Tella, another Nigerian gem, contributed five crucial goals to Leverkusen's triumph.
Xhaka in an interview expressed his admiration for the duo, highlighting their infectious positivity and unwavering commitment on and off the pitch.
"As a team, having players like Boni and Nathan is invaluable. Their quality and positive demeanor enrich our squad dynamics," Xhaka remarked on SOCCERNET.
With the Bundesliga title secured, attention now turns to Leverkusen's UEFA Europa League quarter-final showdown against West Ham United on Thursday.
