Shaqiri's return was a big deal in Basel, and he remains one of the most popular soccer players in Swiss history. In his first season back at Basel since the 2011-12 campaign, Shaqiri scored 21 goals in 38 games and helped the club win the Swiss Super League title for the first time since 2017.



Shaqiri has picked up where he left off this season. Basel also has one win in the Europa League, and Shaqiri scored in the 2-0 victory over Stuttgart.
