The weeks go by and the images appear on Italian television channels. We see Olivier Giroud all smiles, often, with a clenched fist and lively eyes. Since his arrival at AC Milan, the French world champion has enjoyed a second youth, at the age of 37. Top scorer for the Lombard club, he has never accumulated so many minutes in 5 years. A paradox for a center forward who seems to age like good wine.
This Sunday, Olivier Giroud celebrated another goal by converting a penalty to contribute to the Rossoneri’s great success against Empoli (3-0). Thanks to this new pawn, the former Chelsea player brings his total of goals in Serie A to 9 goals this season, which allows him to place himself on the second step of the podium in the scorers’ ranking, behind the Argentinian of ‘Inter Milan Lautaro Martinez (16 goals).
Giroud, a unique case in Europe
Above all, Olivier Giroud reached the 10-goal mark in all competitions by adding a unit during Milan’s Champions League campaign. And if this figure seems obvious for an attacker of this caliber, it is not insignificant since it allows Giroud to break a world record by becoming the first player to score at least 10 goals in 14 consecutive seasons. . A feat that says everything about the consistency of the top scorer in the history of the France team.
