At 37 years and 52 days, Olivier Giroud is the oldest player in the history of the French team but also the oldest scorer and the oldest decisive passer after having served Randal Kolo Muani on the opening score against Greece.
Top scorer in the history of the France team, with 56 goals, Olivier Giroud will probably one day be overtaken by Kylian Mbappé, who has 10 goals fewer at 24 years old. On the other hand, the 37-year-old striker is astonishing in his longevity since he is the oldest outfield player in the history of the Blues. He played Greece-France on Tuesday in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, aged 37 years and 52 days.
Giroud is also the oldest scorer in the history of the France team as well as the oldest passer. The AC Milan player scored a double last Saturday against Gibraltar (14-0) and was the decisive passer for Randal Kolo Muani in the opening score in Athens on Tuesday evening (2-2 in the end).
Giroud became the oldest decisive passer in the history of the French selection in September 2022 by erasing Claude Makelele.
