Children and family members plus employees of BarmeniaGothaer, many of them in Bayer 04 jerseys or wearing scarves and hats of the double winners, collected autographs and took selfies. One or two families took the opportunity for a joint Christmas photo with Alonso, Boniface and Co.

Xhaka: "i know how much it means"

At the end of the visit to the BarmeniaGothaer headquarters, Xhaka summed up the evening: "It's always a special pleasure to make children happy with little things like autograph cards. I used to collect them myself as a child and I know how much it means."
