Xhaka believes Premier League’s top six should be in Champions League

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka believes the Premier Leagues top six clubs would all be at home in the Champions League.For the first time, this seasons Champions League and Europa League finals will be contested by teams from the same country as England dominates UEFAs continental competitions.Liverpool and Tottenham both secured memorable second-leg comebacks to set-up the first all-English Champions League final since 2008.One all-Premier League #UCL final One all-Premier League #UEL final #PL domination pic.twitter.com/5dAuimSrnq Premier League (@premierleague) May 10, 2019Meanwhile, Xhakas Arsenal will meet Chelsea in Baku after the Gunners eased past Valencia and their London rivals progressed with a penalty shoot-out win over Eintracht Frankfurt.With Manchester City favourites to retain the Premier League and Manchester United, although finishing the season with a whimper, also showing they can mix it with Europes best after turning around their Champions League round of 16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain, Xhaka feels all could cut it in the competition.Every team that can get to a final is strong enough so, we know Chelsea, we play a lot against them, he said.

Of course we want to be in the Champions League through the Premier League but that is the past and we have to look forward now and we will see in three weeks.With both Arsenal and Chelsea having to travel to Baku for the final on May 29, the journey for plenty of fans will be a long one if they are lucky enough to land a ticket.We see you all the way up there, Gooners Your loyalty. Your dedication. Your support Thank you together, we're on our way #UEL pic.twitter.com/b8Lo3Xwpsr Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 9, 2019UEFA have only issued around 6,000 tickets per club but Xhaka insists the players have to put everything to one side and worry only about bringing the trophy back to the Emirates Stadium.We cant change anything added the Switzerland international.It is not our job to say something about this it is one game, it is a final and the better team win.One. More. Game. #UEL pic.twitter.com/2QxwRMuPYr Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 9, 2019I dont know when we (will) go to Baku but it is one game.
