Stoke City's Former Star Shines in EURO 2024

One of the most influential footballers of this century for Stoke City continues to shine brilliantly, seemingly untouched by the passage of time. In this case, he is once again demonstrating his class in EURO 2024.

Xherdan Shaqiri, who had an incredible stint with The Potters, is still remembered and loved by Stoke City fans. They will never forget the Swiss player's trajectory, playing 92 matches, scoring 23 goals, and providing 27 assists in his three years wearing the club's colors.

His arrival in the 15/16 season was a wonder for the club, as they found a star who shone with his striking ability, dribbling, and intelligence on the pitch. No one would have thought that his arrival at the club would make him one of The Potters' most iconic players.

Years pass, and Shaqiri remains at the top of football

Currently, Shaqiri is 32 years old, playing in the MLS, specifically with Chicago Fire. He decided to step away from European football and focus on a new sporting destination in the United States. He has been competing there for three years and seems to have found a place with Chicago Fire.

However, Xherdan remains the leader he always was for The Potters, now leading the Swiss national team in EURO 2024. He has already made his mark with one of the best goals of the tournament while guiding his team to the Round of 16 in a challenging group that includes the formidable Germany.

This goal was scored on June 19 against Scotland, leveling the match that ultimately saved Switzerland by earning a crucial point, thanks to Shaqiri's brilliance.

For The Potters, this footballer will always be an icon of the club. Over the years, his legacy at Stoke City is increasingly appreciated. It remains uncertain whether the story between these two has ended or if there is still another chapter to come in the years ahead.
