People have said things like 'We will break your legs,' 'kill your wife' and 'wish that your daughter gets cancer'. That has stirred me up and I reached the boiling point when I felt the rejection in the stadium on Sunday," Xhaka said."In this situation I let myself be carried away and reacted in a way that disrespected the group of fans that support our club, our team and myself with positive energy. That has not been my intention and I am sorry if it's what people thought," he added.Xhaka did not take the field in Arsenal's match against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. The Gunners went on to lose the match against Liverpool on penalties.Xhaka concluded his statement by saying that he wishes to get back to a place of mutual respect."My wish is that we get back to a place of mutual respect, remembering why we fell in love with the game in the first place. Let's move positively forward together," Xhaka said.Arsenal will next take on Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday, November 3. (ANI)
