The Spaniard says he made the right call in handing the midfielder the captain's armband, even though he was stripped of the role in October
Unai Emery has defended his decision to make Granit Xhaka the Arsenal captain this season.
Switzerland international Xhaka was handed the captain's armband at the start of the campaign after the departures of previous leader Laurent Koscielny and three other vice-captains.
But Xhaka was stripped of his duties as skipper after he clashed with supporters when he was being substituted in the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in October.
